Wobble Stick for Precision Manipulation in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV)

Magnetically driven wobblestick manipulators from Ferrovac define the benchmark for delicate and precise manipulations in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) Systems.

Motion Stability
Due to the principle of magnetic force coupling, the motion of the shaft is not affected by the difference between atmospheric pressure and ultra-high vacuum. This allows the operator to guide the shaft of the wobble stick nearly force-free in a smooth and controlled way.

Leak Prevention
Magnetic coupling minimizes the risk for leaks and ensures longer lifetimes compared to conventional wobble sticks employed with long bellows stacks for linear motion.

Continuous Rotation
Magnetically driven wobble stick manipulators always allow for continuous rotation of the shaft.
