Linear & rotary magnetically-coupled transfer arm
The PP, XPP and SPP range
Our PP & XPP range consists of high-performance magnetically coupled linear/rotary devices, designed for sample transfer. The PowerProbe provides both linear and rotary motion of the sample via a single actuator that has a stroke length from 304mm to 1524mm.
For demanding UHV applications, we recommend the XPP option with rolling metal & ceramic bearings. This ensures smooth, low friction actuation with minimal outgassing.
For higher load applications we recommend the SPP with the larger 31.7mm diameter shaft. This includes a CF63 mounting flange as standard, with a maximum cantilevered load of 50Nm.
Key Specifications
- Linear and continuous rotary motion
- Unrivalled 140N axial coupling strength with 4 Nm torque (180N for the SPP)
- Bakeable to 250°C without having to remove the outer magnets (PP and XPP version)
- Exceptional axial stiffness
- No backlash under low load
