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.
In addition to our broad line of standard scientific products, we at McAllister Technical Services know that today's scientist needs choices and options to fulfill the ever-changing demands of the research community. We are committed to providing those options. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
