Ultra-High Vacuum Rotary Feedthroughs
TDU Series

TDU Series Ultra-High Vacuum Rotary Feedthroughs

The TDU Series are rotary feedthroughs enabling objects in vacuum chambers at ultra-high vacuum pressure to be rotated manually from the vacuum system's atmosphere side. When the handle on the atmosphere side is turned, the rotation is conveyed through a bellows to rotate the shaft on the vacuum side.

Features

  • Low outgas emission, ideal for ultra-high vacuum.
  • Bearings used in vacuum are lubricant-free and clean.
  • Each complete turn of handle rotates shaft exactly once, allowing angle of rotation to be read.
  • No magnets, eliminating risk of leaking magnetic fields
  • Can be rotated in either direction, and fixed at any position.

Applications

  • Manual rotation in ultra-high vacuum systems
