More cost-effective solution than both rotary feedthroughs, which require a ferrofluid or O-rings, and magnetic feedthroughs which do not provide a positive connection
The Chamberlink actuator is capable of delivering positional accuracy of less than 3 arc minutes and repeatability of +/-5 arc seconds into a vacuum.
The single unit design of the Chamberlink makes it an intrinsic part of the chamber, allowing the output shaft to operate in the vacuum without shaft seals, preventing leaks.
The Chamberlink is a more cost-effective solution than both rotary feedthroughs, which require a ferrofluid or O-rings, and magnetic feedthroughs which do not provide a positive connection.
The Chamberlink is available in two sizes with output torques up to 8.9Nm and output speeds of 10-50rpm.
Chamberlink vacuum actuators are rated for vacuum levels of 10-8Torr.
