The Magnetic Push Pull range encompasses a series of magnetically coupled “Push Pull” linear and linear/rotary actuators. These components provide a rugged but cost effective solution for manipulation in high or ultra high vacuum applications.

UHV Design's renowned magnetic coupling technology provides a rigid linear coupling with 98N (10kgf or 22lbf) break-away force along with a break-away torque, for rotating versions, of 0.45Nm (0.332lbft).  The magnetic coupling design eliminates the thrust due to vacuum acting on a conventional bellows-sealed arrangement.

Each series is offered as standard on a NW16CF (1-1/3"OD CF) MiniConflat flange with the option of an NW35CF (2-3/4" OD CF) flange if required.  Each series is offered with manual, DC and stepper motor actuator options.

The MPPRL provides both linear and rotary motion.

The MPPL provides linear only translation of the vacuum shaft, which is guided internally. Since the rotary element of the coupling is not required this becomes a cost effective solution to push and pull applications.

This product provides linear actuation of an unguided vacuum shaft. It is used to manipulate slides or pivot arms where a guided system may conflict with the mechanism
