The MRD91 is a manual or motorised magnetic rotary drive which uses high strength Sm2Co17 magnetic coupling to transfer rotational forces into the vacuum envelope. This is achieved without any dynamic seals or bellows making these devices exceptionally robust and no risk of a vacuum leak for the life of the drive. The MRD91 is fitted with Index scale and position lock.

Differentially Pumped Rotary Feedthroughs provides the means of translating rotation through a vessel wall without losing vacuum integrity, enabling probes to be inserted without effect on the chamber pressure. To maintain the rotary seal, one vacuum port is mounted to the base flange of the assembly allowing connection to an appropriate independent pump. These have a 25mm clear bore with coarse and fine control available in addition to motorised options.

High power all metal magnetically coupled coarse linear and rotary transfer device for UHV applications, using only UHV accepted metals within its construction. Providing smooth sample transfer movement within the vacuum chamber, where high accuracy is not required.

High power magnetically coupled precision linear travel with optional rotation. The MLD series offers linear only, where rotation is not required, or the MLRD series offers an independent 360° rotation shaft, where rotation is required. These only use UHV accepted metals within its construction. These probes have a front bearing housing supporting the linear shaft, which offers higher accuracy over the MLRV series for repeatability tasks. On the MLRD series, the independent rotation shaft also…

Mechanical hands are used for transferring a sample where linear, angular and rotary movement is required. The pistol grip which actuates the movement and the use of edge welded bellows, gives the user a true 'feeling' of position inside the vacuum chamber to give a controlled transfer. These can be supplied with or without the pincer grip. If supplied with a pincer, these can be inline or perpendicular, with plain jaws or jaws to accept the flag style sample plate.
