A vacuum-rated linear motor is a linear motor that can be placed in a vacuum environment. Tecnotion´s vacuum-rated ironless linear motor series has a dedicated and specially designed coil unit and magnet yoke for use in high vacuum.
A growing amount of high-tech applications require vacuum solutions to minimize the chance of unwanted chemical reactions or pollution of the process or surrounding equipment. Motion is one of the main challenges within a vacuum environment. Serviceability, reliability, versatility, and outgassing are critical factors in a vacuum application and failure of one of them could mean long downtimes.
The total cost of ownership should be considered over the initial investment. Maintenance costs of motion systems in vacuum are potentially high. Linear vacuum-rated motors of Tecnotion have no moving parts and are frictionless making the motors maintenance-free. They are placed into the vacuum as a whole and therefore do not require a feed through saving costs.
