Camera Lens Mounts

Camera Lens Mounts must maintain sub-micron concentricity and parallelism to ensure the lens optical axis aligns precisely with the sensor plane. This eliminates image distortion, minimizes chromatic aberration, and ensures consistent focus across the frame—critical in high-resolution industrial, scientific, and metrology applications. 

Material Specification

Aluminum 7075-T6 (AMS 4050), Stainless Steel 17-4PH (AMS 5643), Titanium 6Al-4V (ASTM B348)

Dimensional Tolerances

±0.01mm (Critical Features), ±0.02mm (Overall Profile), Flange Thickness – ±0.005mm

Surface Finish Requirement

Ra ≤0.4µm (Lens Contact), Ra ≤0.8µm (Non-Critical), Bead Blast (Optional, Ra 1.6µm)

Thread Tolerances

M42x1.0 (Standard), M58x0.75 (Cinema), Thread Pitch – ±0.005mm, Class 2A/3A Fit

Coating/Plating Specification

Hard Anodized (Al, MIL-A-8625), Passivated (SS, ASTM A967), DLC Coating (Optional, ASTM F3044)

Product Description

Camera Lens Mounts made from low-CTE materials such as Invar or thermally matched aluminum alloys prevent expansion mismatch between the sensor housing and optical assembly. This ensures mechanical stability and sustained calibration in thermally dynamic environments like aerospace payloads or outdoor imaging systems. 

Certification Standard

ISO 9001, RoHS/REACH Compliant, IP54 (Weather Resistance), MIL-STD-810 (Vibration)

Mechanical Strength

Tensile Strength ≥500MPa (Al), Fatigue Life – 10⁶ Cycles, Torque Resistance – 5-10Nm

Flatness & Parallelism

Flatness ≤0.01mm/m, Parallelism ≤0.005mm, Perpendicularity ≤0.01°

Vibration Resistance

Withstands 5-500Hz @ 5g (MIL-STD-810G), Natural Frequency >300Hz

Hardness Requirement

Anodized Al – 60-70 HRB, SS – 38-45 HRC, Ti – 32-36 HRC

Technical Advantages

Camera Lens Mounts designed with high-precision bayonet or thread-lock systems ensure consistent lens placement even after repeated mounting cycles. This supports interchangeable lens applications such as broadcast, inspection optics, or R&D labs where positional repeatability must remain within microns. 

Camera Lens Mounts used in drones, autonomous platforms, or robotic arms must maintain lens integrity under mechanical shock and vibration. Reinforced locking geometries, secure radial clamps, and vibration-resistant interfaces help maintain optical alignment during dynamic or mobile operation.

Machine Vision Systems

Ensures sub-micron lens alignment for repeatable image acquisition in high-speed automated optical inspection and robotics-guided manufacturing processes.

Aerospace Imaging Modules

Maintains optical axis integrity under thermal gradients and vibration loads in satellite payloads and unmanned aerial surveillance platforms.

Medical Diagnostic Equipment

Provides secure, sterile-compatible lens integration in endoscopic cameras and diagnostic imaging devices requiring micron-level focal precision and biocompatible materials.

Industrial Inspection Cameras

Withstands high-vibration environments while retaining precise lens positioning in factory inspection setups for dimensional analysis and defect detection.

Broadcast and Studio Cameras

Enables fast lens interchangeability with repeatable alignment for high-resolution video acquisition in controlled lighting and variable focal length environments. 

Scientific Microscopy Cameras

Delivers stable sensor-to-lens positioning for fluorescence, confocal, and digital microscopy requiring fixed optical path and parfocality maintenance. 

Camera Lens Mounts

Corrosion and Environmental Durability

Camera Lens Mounts operating in harsh environments require corrosion-resistant finishes like Type III anodizing or electroless nickel plating. Environmental sealing features such as O-rings or overmold compatibility support use in marine, automotive, or outdoor surveillance imaging systems. 

Custom Camera Lens Mounts allow integration with non-standard sensors, filter stacks, and mechanical housings. Customized flange profiles, through-hole patterns, or lens offsets support advanced applications including multispectral imaging, beam-splitter assemblies, and active cooling systems.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure axial tolerance consistency in Camera Lens Mounts across large production batches?

Frigate uses CNC machining with real-time in-process inspection to maintain axial tolerances within ±5 microns. All critical dimensions are monitored using CMMs and laser metrology. Statistical Process Control (SPC) ensures tight dimensional repeatability across every lot. This guarantees optical alignment consistency for high-volume imaging system integrators. 

What surface treatment methods does Frigate use to improve the durability of Camera Lens Mounts in corrosive environments?

Frigate applies Type III hard anodizing, electroless nickel plating, and passivation based on the material and exposure conditions. These treatments enhance corrosion resistance and wear tolerance under salt spray, humidity, and UV exposure. Surface finish roughness is controlled to maintain sealing integrity. This is essential for mounts used in marine, automotive, and outdoor camera assemblies. 

How does Frigate address concentricity requirements for Camera Lens Mounts used in multi-lens optical systems?

Frigate machines lens bores and flanges in a single setup using high-precision 5-axis CNC equipment to minimize runout. Concentricity is measured to under 3 microns using rotary table and air gauge systems. This ensures accurate alignment in systems requiring coaxial optical paths. Such mounts are critical for stereo vision and beam-splitting camera modules. 

Can Frigate provide Camera Lens Mounts customized for non-standard sensor stack configurations?

Yes, Frigate offers full design support for custom flange profiles, offset interfaces, and mounting hole patterns. These customizations accommodate complex sensor architectures with filter stacks, thermal straps, or beam-splitters. 3D CAD and FEA validation are used before prototyping. This enables fast, accurate integration into unique optical assemblies. 

How does Frigate improve vibration resistance in Camera Lens Mounts for dynamic imaging systems?

Frigate incorporates radial clamping geometries, anti-rotation keys, and mechanically interlocked threads in mount designs. These features prevent lens loosening or displacement under high dynamic loads. Vibration testing is conducted using modal analysis and real-world test fixtures. This makes the mounts ideal for drones, mobile platforms, and robotic imaging units.
