UHV Rotary Drives
UHV Rotary drives are used where a vacuum process requires a sample or components to be accurately rotated within the vacuum chamber. This can range from something as simple as spinning an attenuating chopper wheel, to accurately moving a sample to face from one analyser to another. VACGEN provide a comprehensive range of manually or motor driven rotary drives bellows & magnetic coupling options available.

Rotary DriveThe RD series offer primary and secondary (azimuthal) rotation within the chamber. We offer a range of rotary drives dedicated to the sample maniulation range and mounted on a 70mm OD flange, and the mini drive series mounted on a 34mm OD flange for applications such as opening and closing a source shutter. | Magnetically Coupled Rotary DriveThe MRD series offer primary rotation only and are fitted with Samarium Cobalt magnets for smooth operation and offer zero backlash. The MRD range are available in 3 sizes MRD91, MRD93 and MRD6. If you need help selecting a drive, then please contact sales@vacgen.com |
