Professional Transfer Tools

Magnetically coupled linear/rotary feedthroughs

Building on the success of the MagiDrive as the best magnetically coupled rotary feedthrough in the UHV market, UHV Design has developed a second magnetic coupling specifically for linear motion. This coupling forms the basis of the Professional Transfer Tool range, providing linear or combined linear and rotary motion within ultra high vacuum. These unique probes remove the limitations of conventional designs, offering up to an order of magnitude improvement in key aspects of performance.

In addition to the ‘standard’ and ‘high’ linear power configurations, a third ‘low power’ option is also available. The benefit of this is that, for certain applications, such as vacuum screwdrivers, some linear strain is considered an advantage.

In terms of rotation, the rotary transmission is essentially based upon the MD35 MagiDrive delivering 4Nm break-away torque. This is four times the level offered by our nearest competitor. The unique rotary coupling retains the notorious angular rigidity of the MagiDrive series.

The Professional Transfer Tools are fully bakeable to 250°C and do not require dismantling of any sort. The probes are suitable for use between atmospheric pressure and ultra high vacuum.

No single, magnetically coupled probe will meet all the demands of vacuum system designers. In order to exploit these demands, we have developed our couplings into four discrete products.
