Pneumatically Actuated Linear Translator (PAT)

The magnetically-coupled, Pneumatically Actuated Linear Translator drive is specifically designed to eliminate the need for bellows in beamline applications.

The magnetically-coupled, Pneumatically Actuated Linear Translator (PAT) drive is specifically designed to eliminate the need for bellows in beamline applications, e.g. positioning diagnostics. 

Available in strokes up to 100mm and actuated using a side-mounted rodless pneumatic cylinder, the design incorporates two constant force springs. This ensures fail-safe operation in the event of loss of electrical power or air supply.

Utilising UHV Design’s magnetic coupling technology, the PAT drive has a linear breakaway thrust of 90 N and a linear speed of up to 50mm/s.
