Product Description
All Newport rods are made entirely of steel. Steel provides much greater dynamic rigidity than aluminum due to its almost order-of-magnitude greater material loss factor. This means even our undamped rods have the high resonant frequency and correspondingly low vibration amplitude required for optical laboratory use. Also, with their inherently greater stiffness and strength, steel rods support larger loads with greater stability.
Steel construction has other advantages; steel has half the thermal expansion coefficient of aluminum and a higher heat capacity so thermal stability is enhanced.
