Wobble Stick WS40 - Linear & Rotary Motion

WS range provides combined tilt, linear and rotary motion.

The wobble stick is one of the simplest manipulation tools available, translating hand movements, with defined freedom, through a vacuum enclosure. The wobble stick series has been newly redesigned to increase the effective tilt of this unit. This wobble stick continues to utilize UHV Design's magnetically coupled technology for linear, rotary, and gripper movements.

Design Concept

The Wobble Stick is a modular concept. The basic design provides lateral/tilt movement through a robust edgewelded bellows adaptor with linear push/pull motion and rotation through a powerful magnetic coupling. The newly redesigned Wobblestick has an upgraded tilt of +/- 22°.

Magnetic Coupling

The UHV Design wobble stick is a slim line modular concept benefiting from UHV Design's high power magnetic coupling technology. The coupling eliminates the need for long edge-welded bellows stacks for linear movement, typically employed with conventional wobble stick designs. Because of this, the UHVD wobble stick is not subject to the thrust due to vacuum, resulting in smooth, free-moving operation.

Sample Holder End Effectors

This design offers simple end effectors for sample stub handling without gripper actuation action. This unit has In-line end effector options for flag, puck and the ESCA stub as displayed on the above Features tab.
