Magnetically Coupled Motion

Looking for reliable and precise mechanical motion in your UHV system? You’ve come to the right place!

Since 1996, Ferrovac has been developing magnetically coupled motion systems, making a significant contribution to precision and reliability in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems with the introduction of the first magnetic wobblestick manipulators.

Using magnetic coupling, motion is transferred from the atmosphere to the vacuum side of the system with almost no force, eliminating the need to work against the vacuum forces present in traditional bellows systems. This enables precise handling without the effects of pressure differences between the atmosphere and UHV. This technology reduces the risk of leaks and ensures that these manipulators outlast conventional systems, with spare parts available decades later, guaranteeing long service life and minimal downtime.

• Precise Control: Magnetic coupling ensures smooth, force-free motion.
• Leak Prevention: Eliminates mechanical seals, significantly reducing the risk of leaks.
• Longest Lifespan: Minimal downtime, more ecological, and long-term economical.
