This 29.00 mm relay step is already in production. Send the drawing and get a fit check, tolerance review and quote within 24 hours. No custom-quote wait. Supplied as uncoated rod lens blanks for coating laboratories, or finished per your drawing for OEM assembly, with a measured batch COA. It uses a larger 3.49 mm diameter with the 29 mm relay pitch for multi-element builds.
Specifications
Final tolerances, glass grade and build type are confirmed against your drawing at quote.
Size Positioning
Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm combines a 3.49 mm diameter with a 29.00 mm relay pitch, a pairing suited to multi-element relay builds with more cross-section for the optics.
This larger-diameter pairing is usually found in multi-element relay sections where the optical cross-section is designed for more elements.
Design Notes
Design note: Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm suits multi-element builds; confirm element count and interface diameters on your drawing.
Two Supply Paths
Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm blanks are supplied uncoated with diameter tolerance held for coating labs.
Finished rods are produced to drawing, with centration and surface checks on the batch.
Real Production Photos
Photos are production references; final dimensions follow your drawing.
Proven Size
The larger diameter gives more cross-section for multi-element relay optics while keeping a 29 mm pitch; the size is proven in production.
Drawings first. A drawing is always the fastest way to a precise match — send yours and we take it from there.
In-house production
You can verify Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm with our batch COA; measured values are recorded per batch.
Quality Evidence
Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm batches carry measured diameter, length and centration on the COA.
Inspection & Metrology
Every batch is verified with interferometry, centration measurement and surface inspection. You get the actual measured values, not a “within spec” checkbox.

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

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

Surface and edge quality inspected under a video microscope — scratch/dig per MIL-PRF-13830B.

A passing surface from a production run: PV 0.51λ, RMS 0.059λ. Rejects never leave the workshop.

Workstation scratch measurement — PV 2.876λ; the same inspection gate applies to Φ3.49 × 29.00 mm.
Real measurement, kept on file. Your COA gets the same kind of data.
