HLSML SERIES

The HLSML provides strokes of up to 1000mm (39″) with high precision motion maintained throughout the stroke. The HLSML is also chosen for shorter strokes where ultimate stability is required.
Overview

The HLSML series of long travel Linear Shift Mechanisms, incorporates an upgraded structure with rear spine and large bore shafts and supports. The rigid structure maintains precise motion and unrivalled stability with strokes up to 1m.
High duty cycle production HLSMLs are available providing reliable, smooth and rigid motion with long operational life. Production ready HLSMLs can be supplied with pre-wired switches and connectors for ‘plug & play’ operation.

Actuation methods

The series can be actuated via a manual handwheel, DC motor or stepper motor.
Motorised HLSMLs are fitted with bakeable limit and home switches, pre-wired to a single, bakeable connector mounted on the frame. HLSMLs are compatible with UHV Design’s SADC and Stepper motor controller range. Each HLSML can be supplied with a digital linear scale, offering visual position indication with 10 micron resolution.

Linear Shift Mechanisms (LSMs) provide linear motion along the port axis (Z). Typical applications include the positioning of beamline filters, adjustment of sputter sources and deposition stages through to production style applications.

UHV Design has the largest range of LSMs in the world, ranging from CF35 to CF150 flanges, up to 1m stroke, tilt & X alignment versions with manual, pneumatic and motorisation options, all available with a range of position encoders. Bakeable to 250°C, the range is supplied on CF flanges and provides true UHV performance.
