Wobble Sticks

Range of UHV wobble sticks with custom lengths and range of movement options.

The Wobble Sticks allow the transmission of relatively simple hand movements through the vacuum wall. The flexible bellows provide a cone of movement as well as a limited degree of linear movement at the end of the wobble stick. Standard mounting flange is DN 40CF.

Application
The Wobble Stick with Rotating Tip is used mainly to operate in vacuum mechanisms such as shutters, adjustment probes and variable orifices.

The Wobble Stick with Parallel Mobile Tip is generally used to transport sample holders or other objects while keeping the shaft parallel. It is used to transfer sample holders from e.g. a linear transfer mechanism to a sample receiving station on a manipulator.

The Wobble Stick with parallel mobile tip is designed to grip samples or other parts in UHV conditions and transfer them from e.g. a transfer mechanism to an analysis instrument such as an STM.

Additional information
Custom shaft length and Z travel ranges are available on request.
