Motion Controllers

This compact, single case unit includes a DC power supply (compatible with RHEED techniques) and an integrated Eurotherm temperature controller. Load current information is displayed on the front panel of the case. Along with manual temperature control, the Eurotherm controller also includes a convenient autotuning facility. This characterises the heater module and enables set point temperatures to be maintained automatically and, crucially, achieved in the shortest time possible.

Bellows sealed and magnetically-coupled linear actuators.

Both linear actuators are perfectly designed to address a wide range of applications. These include beamline filters, wire scanners and the adjustment of sputter sources. They’re also used in deposition stages right through to production style applications.

Our products are designed for high-duty, high-torque and high-precision, linear-only applications. For high-duty process applications, these magnetically-coupled push pull (MPP) devices are ideally suited. This is because they offer high torque, high axial stiffness and zero thrust due to vacuum. The magnetically-coupled push pull range provides linear and linear/rotary motion solutions with up to 300mm (12") stroke. Strong magnetic coupling eliminates the use of bellows and dynamic seals, which are vulnerable to failure. This ensures the device has a robust long-life design.

For applications where precise multi-positioning is required, our linear bellows drives provide exceptional resolution (two-times better than conventional units), a guaranteed minimum lifetime of 10,000 cycles and the ability to easily motorise in the field.
