XWSG40 Range

UHV Magnetically-coupled wobble sticks

XWSG40 wobble sticks have been designed to offer precise manual manipulation of a range of sample holders. To do so, they utilise UHV Design's high power magnetic coupling technology. And by using only ceramic and metal parts, the XWSG range provides exceptionally low outgassing.

The XWSG40 is equipped with a trigger mechanism, located on the outer magnetic assembly. This actuates the gripper mechanism and has an integrated brake thumbscrew supplied as standard.

The XWSG40 includes in-line and right-angle gripper options for secure manipulation of flag style sample holders. It’s available with up to 350mm stroke range as standard, but longer strokes are available upon request.

Key Specifications

  • In-line and right-angled version with +/-22° tilt
  • 100-350mm stroke range (50mm increments)
  • Longer strokes are available upon request. Contact us for details.
  • Trigger actuated gripper options for flag style sample holders, see below.
  • Bakeout to 250°C without the need to remove the outer magnet assembly
  • Using only ceramic and metal parts, the XWSG range offers exceptionally low outgassing
  • No thrust due to vacuum
