High vacuum feedthrough actuator
More cost-effective solution than both rotary feedthroughs, which require a ferrofluid or O-rings, and magnetic feedthroughs which do not provide a positive connection
Lightweight gearheads have zero backlash
Miniature items measure as little as 33mm in diameter and are suitable for laboratory automation and semiconductor applications requiring precise positional accuracy
The encoder module incorporates a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal shaping electronics to produce the two channel bounceless TTL outputs.
The internal monolithic electronic module converts the real-time position, speed, and direction into TTL compatible outputs.
The encoder is offered in resolutions ranging from 120 to 330 cycles per revolution (CPR) or 480 to 1200 pulses per revolution (PPR).
The encoder operating temperatures are -10 to +85C.
The compact optical incremental encoder design is available with two channel quadrature TTL squarewave outputs.
These linear actuators occupy a minimal 0.8inch (21mm) square space and include numerous patented innovations that provide customers high performance and endurance in a very small package.
The size 8 hybrid linear actuators are available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from 0.00006inch (.0015mm) per step to 0.00157inch (0.04mm) per step and deliver thrusts of up to 4.5kg without compromising long life and cost.
These models can also be micro stepped for even finer resolution.
Applications requiring precise positioning and rapid motion are best suited for this motor.
Priced competitively, this product is ideal for drop-in replacements to improve performance and life or for incorporation into your next project.
In addition to standard configurations, Haydon can custom design this motor to meet specific application requirements.
Haydon is recognised worldwide as a leader for stepper motor based linear actuators, rotary motors, leadscrew assemblies, and sealed switches.
The company, headquartered in Waterbury, CT, develops, designs and manufacturers internationally patented products for the global marketplace.
Haydon custom designs and manufacturers electric motors for medical equipment, instrumentation, industrial equipment, machinery automation, HVAC, telecommunications, semiconductor, office equipment, and many other custom applications.
