UHV Wobble Sticks: MCTS
Model MCTS-LR-L/R
This dual shaft, dual carriage, magnetically-coupled wobble stick has a secondary shaft that moves with respect to the main linear/rotary shaft and adds versatility. This secondary shaft allows for the opening and closing of jaws, handling flag style sample holders and other motions.
UHV Transfer Systems Wobble Sticks with Linear or Linear/Rotary and Angular Motions
The Model MCTS, Magnetically-Coupled Wobble Sticks are an economical way to perform simple linear/rotary/angular motion within a vacuum system. Robust and reliable, the MCTS reduces the risk of leaks by eliminating the use of edge welded bellows.
Rare earth magnets provide a strong magnetic coupling. The unit is completely UHV-compatible and it is bakeable to 250°C with the external magnet carriage assembly removed.
Standard Wobble Sticks are available with customer specified push-pull linear travel and an angular tilt of ±15 degrees. They can be used to transfer and manipulate sample pucks, stubs, flag-style plates or custom end-effectors.
The secondary shaft of the Model MCTS-LR-L adds versatility allowing the open and close of jaws and other pincher devices. Contact us to discuss custom requirements.
