Thermic Edge Vacuum Products

Rotary and Linear Feedthroughs

Our Rotary / Linear feedthroughs comprise a central shaft sealed with Viton® seals, supported with Igus® bearings and encompassed in a robust stainless-steel flanged housing.

The profile of the Viton seals ensures a secure vacuum seal for both rotary and linear movement is formed with minimal compression, making them both highly versatile and reliable. In addition, the profile traps high vacuum grease ensuring they are continually lubricated.

The use of high-quality Igus® guides and bearings make it suitable for use in high vacuum whilst ensuring the smoothest operation and longevity.

The Rotary / Linear feedthroughs design allows for complete interchangeability, for ease of maintenance and seal replacements.

Our expanding standard range of rotary / linear feedthroughs which are ideal for use in sample rotation stages and high vacuum currently includes:

  • Ø6.0mm solid central shaft with DN16CF flanged housing.
  • Ø6.0 or 8.0mm solid central with DN40CF flanged housing.
  • Ø19mm O.D. capped tube with DN40CF flanged housing.

As standard the Rotary / Linear feedthroughs are supplied with the feedthrough assembly (housing), central shaft, with airside shaft clamp, or capped tube.

All feedthroughs can be configured with the following;

  • Handles/knobs for manual manipulation
  • Pneumatic rotary actuator for rotation
  • Stepper motor for rotation
  • Pneumatic, motorised or solenoid actuators for linear manipulation

Upon request, our experienced in-house design and engineering team can accommodate larger flange and rod/or tube sizes, to suit your individual requirements.
All feedthroughs are helium leak tested to a leak rate of 1×10-9 mbar l/s prior to dispatch to ensure the highest level of quality and longevity.
