Vacuum Drives and Motions: Rotary & Linear Drives

Linear Drive 70mm OD 50mm Z M6 Tapped / Stepper Motor

Linear Drive 114mm OD 25mm Z Handwheel

The RD6 is a manual or motorised precision rotary drive with a 100mm shaft length. The RD6 has low backlash, with a smooth continuous primary rotation via a 9.5 mm diameter shaft.

The RD2 has primary rotation with secondary linear movement for the Azimuthal rotation of the sample plate on the 12mm and 24mm versions of SH2 sample holders. The RD2 is a manual or motorised high precision rotary drive, with a 256mm shaft length. The RD2 is fitted with Index scale, rotation stops and position lock. We also offer a custom shaft extension with bearing housing to suit custom requirements. The RD2 is low backlash, with smooth continuous primary rotation via a 9.5 mm diameter…

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 such as Cryostats to be inserted without effect on the chamber pressure. To maintain the rotary seal, two vacuum ports are mounted to the base flange of the assembly allowing connection to an appropriate independent pumps. These have a 55mm clear bore with coarse and fine control available in addition to motorised options.

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…

Dedicated 18mm flag style pincer grip wobble stick are used where linear and angular movement is required to move flag sample plates in vacuum These come in two designs, inline and perpendicular sample pick up. Edge welded bellows, gives the user a true 'feeling' of position inside the vacuum chamber to give a controlled positioning.

Edge welded bellows, gives the user a true 'feeling' of position inside the vacuum chamber to give a controlled positioning.

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.

Pincer Grip Wobble are used where linear and angular movement is required to move a 14mm disk samples inside vacuum via an inline pincer grip. The pincer grip allows for four pre-set rotation position at 90 intervals. Edge welded bellows, gives the user a true 'feeling' of position inside the vacuum chamber to give a controlled positioning.
