Hi,
Background:
We have bushings and "extremely fine" (M3 x 0.2 mm pitch) adjuster-set screws used in kinematic mirror mounts for some of or optical systems. The bushings are made of brass and the adjuster screws are made of 303 stainless steel. We have some design concerns and one of them is the brass bushing and its wear characteristics. So I'm wondering if I could make a bushing made of Nitronic 60 instead of brass.
Question:
Does anyone know if you can thread a pitch as fine as 0.2 mm, within a diameter range of 3 mm to 5 mm (M3 x 0.2 - M5 x 0.2)?
Thanks,
Sean
