Hollow rotary drive with integrated lift & lower
Compact and Efficient Solution for Precision Applications
The Magilift provides magnetically-coupled rotation and axial motion in a single, compact device, making it a versatile tool for precision tasks. Designed for applications such as substrate handling, it combines both rotary and lift/lower functions, allowing for seamless sample transfer and movement. With its hollow drive technology, essential services can be passed through to a substrate heating module, ensuring smooth operation and convenience in vacuum environments.
Key Specifications
- Rotational speed: Up to 60 RPM with 25mm axial motion.
- 27.8mm hollow bore to enable the passage of services like cooling or heating elements.
- 140N linear coupling force and 9 Nm rotary torque for high power in a compact device.
- Bakeable to 250°C without the need to remove external magnets, maintaining operational efficiency.
- Maximum axial load: 20N (4.5 lbf ft) for robust handling in demanding applications.
- Options for both motorisation and pneumatic actuation provide flexibility in control.
- Custom shaft designs available for unique application requirements.
Advanced Hollow Rotary Drive Technology:
The Magilift’s magnetically-coupled design eliminates the need for traditional components like bellows or seals, reducing the risk of leaks and wear. This ensures long-term reliability and minimises maintenance in UHV (ultra-high vacuum) systems. Its combination of rotational and axial movement makes it ideal for complex tasks such as sample positioning, where precision and uniformity are critical.
MLR35 – Magnetic Rotary and Linear Motion Manipulator
The MLR35 model expands upon the Magilift capabilities by enabling rotary and axial motion in a central hollow shaft, making it perfect for substrate rotation in vacuum chambers. With a rotation speed of 60 RPM and 25mm of axial movement, it ensures precise control in UHV environments, enhancing operations like substrate uniformity in front of heaters or deposition sources.
- Magnetically-coupled mechanism: This system avoids the use of sliding seals and bellows, ensuring durability and reducing contamination risks.
- High torque and axial thrust: The optimised magnetic coupling ensures powerful, precise movement, critical for scientific applications and light industrial use.
Applications:
- Substrate handling in vacuum chambers for research and semiconductor manufacturing.
- High-precision sample transfer in laboratory automation and scientific instrumentation.
- Axial and rotary motion control in UHV systems for surface analysis and material science.
