Where Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm Sits in the Range

Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm uses a 2.78 mm diameter with a 22.95 mm relay pitch, close to a 23 mm step for standard rigid scope trains.

At this pitch, the rod usually works as a standard relay step with a flat or cemented interface, depending on the drawing.

What to Confirm for Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm

Design note: at 22.95 mm, treat the pitch as a 23 mm step; confirm the edge chamfer and surface specification on your drawing.

How We Supply Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm

For Coating Laboratories

We make Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm as uncoated blanks with the same diameter fit as the rest of the range.

For OEM Assemblers

Finished rods are made to drawing, with centration and surface quality checked per batch.

Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm — The Numbers Go on Your COA

Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm batches include measured diameter, length and centration on the COA.

We measure it — and the numbers go on your COA.

Every batch is verified with interferometry, centration measurement and surface inspection. You get the actual measured values, not a “within spec” checkbox.

Interferometric surface verification for this product line

Surface Figure

Surface form tested by interferometry — PV/RMS values from the actual measurement.

Rod lens centration measured at 2.02 arcmin

Centration

Centration checked on the centration station, typically ≤3′. The reading shown is from a real part — 2.02′.
