Cto CS-Mount adapter

A C-Mount is a type of lens mount commonly found on CCTV cameras, machine vision cameras, and microscopes. C-mount lenses provide a male thread, which mates with a female thread on the camera. The thread is nominally 1 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter, with 32 threads per inch (0.794 mm pitch).

Dow Corning silicone-based o-ring grease lubricant, similar to Parker Super O-Lube but thicker and FDA and NSF 51 and 61 compliant.

In some circumstances, you might want to convert the C/CS-Mount to an M12 mount. There are two ways to achieve that depending on the type of the CS Mount to be adapted.

TipThe flange focal distance is 17.526 millimeters (0.6900 in) for a C-Mount. CS-Mount has a flange focal distance of 12.526 millimeters (0.4931 in) but is otherwise the same as C-Mount, including the fact that lenses for many different formats are made for it.

Parker O-Lube 884-2 is a limited purpose grease o-ring lubricant, available in a 2oz tube, for hydrocarbon and pneumatic service seals.

Parker O-Lube SLUBE 884-2 in a 2oz tube of all-purpose high viscosity silicone oil compatible with nearly all rubber o-ring materials.

Therefore, if you find you cannot manage to focus a CS-Mount lens, check if you leave the 5mm C-CS adapter on the thread.

Since CS-Mount is basically the same as C-Mount except for the flange focal distance, you can adapter a CS-Mount to C Mount by adding a 5mm C-CS adapter to a CS-Mount to use with C-Mount lenses.

Biodegradable FDA compliant and NSF registered temporary o-ring installation lubricant that dries within hours without a trace.

High performance o-ring lubricant for the most demanding environments. High vacuum, low vapor pressure grease performs reliably, no matter the conditions.

The flange focal distance is 17.526 millimeters (0.6900 in) for a C-Mount. CS-Mount has a flange focal distance of 12.526 millimeters (0.4931 in) but is otherwise the same as C-Mount, including the fact that lenses for many different formats are made for it.

If you are using Arducam camera modules with CS-Mount, you can easily replace the CS-mount with an M12 mount by changing the lens holder.

Arducam offers C Mount adapters for Canon and Nikon lenses. Therefore, the C-CS adapter is required if you are using the DSLR lenses on a CS-Mount camera.

O-ring installation lubricants help ensure proper sealing performance over the entire lifespan of an o-ring. By minimizing o-ring damage during installation, improving dynamic performance and extending service life, o-ring lubricants are a simple way to maximize o-ring sealing performance.

Most of Arducam camera modules are compatible with 18mm and 20mm hole spacing, which match the majority of the lens holder’s. Here is a video showing how to do that.

The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, on the other hand, is not the same case. It’s lens holders – officially called the main housing – is not designed to be easily interchangeable.

Therefore, to adapter a CS-mount camera like this, you need an M12 to CS-Mount adapter. Here is an illustration of how that works.
