Linear Shift with Integrated Tilt (LSMT) Bellows-Sealed Actuator

UHV Design’s LSMT Series

Linear Shift with Integrated Tilt (LSMT) Bellows-Sealed Actuator

The LSMT Series from UHV Design provides a versatile solution, building on the standard LSM series with the added capability to tilt the moving flange by +/- 2°. This unique feature serves as an integrated port aligner, ensuring precise alignment for complex applications.

Customisable for Your Application Needs

Ideal for beamlines and ion/sputter source alignment, the LSMT Series offers a comprehensive solution for demanding environments. Adjustment is achieved via four threaded support shafts, offering smooth kinematic motion. This series is highly configurable and the linear motion can be actuated through a variety of mechanisms including a manual handwheel, pneumatic cylinder, DC motor, or stepper motor, allowing for flexible integration into any system.
