HLT Translator
This translator is specially designed to provide smooth, reliable motion for
a differentially-pumped plasma probe or mass spectrometer that must be moved
long distances. It fully supports both ends of the differential turbo pump
section and the electrostatic sector portion without deflection due to either
gravity or atmospheric loads. The support legs are adjustable from 80-120
centimeters height (custom heights and legs are available) and include a pre-drilled
bracket to allow rigid attachment to the floor. The linear bearings are easily
adjusted in-situ to remove any play. The traveling flange and the carrier
accommodate a standard 4.5" (114 mm) conflat flanges. The crank can be replaced
with a wide variety of DC, servo or stepper motors for automatic operation.
The flange that interfaces with the customer's chamber can be specified at
time of order. An optional gate valve isolates the EQP from the process environment.
Strokes are available from 4" to over 60" (10-150 cm). Other options include
larger flange sizes with different inside diameters and different
mounting configurations.
The normal bakeout temperature is 150oC. Relubricate as required but only with the grease provided. Be especially careful not to use a hydrocarbon grease such as Felpro C100TM unless the oxidized residue is perodically cleaned from all load-bearing surfaces.
