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
