This 22.95 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 works as a near-23 mm relay step at the 2.78 mm diameter, a common spacing in rigid scope trains.
Specifications
Final tolerances, glass grade and build type are confirmed against your drawing at quote.
Size Positioning
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.
Design Notes
Design note: at 22.95 mm, treat the pitch as a 23 mm step; confirm the edge chamfer and surface specification on your drawing.
Two Supply Paths
We make Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm as uncoated blanks with the same diameter fit as the rest of the range.
Finished rods are made to drawing, with centration and surface quality checked per batch.
Real Production Photos
Photos are production references; final dimensions follow your drawing.
Proven Size
At 22.95 mm, the pitch sits just under 23 mm; this pairing has production history and is treated as a proven standard rather than a custom length.
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 Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm against our COA records; measured values are kept per batch.
Quality Evidence
Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm batches include 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 measurement for the Φ2.78 × 22.95 mm process — PV 0.424λ.
Real measurement, kept on file. Your COA gets the same kind of data.
