## Overview

This product is discontinued and has been replaced by VSM17-X. Click here to go to the VSM17-X product page.

These Ultra High Vacuum mechanisms provide translation for loads of up to several tens of kilograms. They are generally similar to the AML LTV series, but use crossed-roller guides. They have very high rigidity, which is necessary where several transporters are stacked for compound motion or where off set loads are present. They are manufactured with UHV compatible material and construction methods and utilize AML UHV stepper motors.

- Replaces LTV for larger loads & rigidity

- Standard travels from 25 mm to 85 mm

- Resolution 1 µm or 5 µm

- Traverses up to 4 or 15 mm/sec.

- Directly stackable for XYZ

- Suitable for use below 1 x 10-10 mBar

- Bakeable to 200°C

- May be customised to suit specific requirements
