X-Shift LSMX Series

Lesker X-Shift LSMX Series

The Kurt J. Lesker LSMX is the X-Shift series, offering the ability to laterally adjust the traveling flange by ±5mm for final alignment. This series is offered with limited flange and stroke options.

Linear transfer mechanisms are UHV clear-bore bellows assemblies in which the top flange moves toward or away from the bottom flange, maintaining parallelism.

• Rugged design ensures smooth and precise motion along the Z-Axis
• Support high loads, but the actuator should be carefully chosen to suit the physical effort and precision required for positioning
• Flange options: 2-3/4", 4.5", or 6" O.D. CF with straddled bolt-hole orientation, metric tapped holes as standard
• Demountable bellows assembly
• Precision stainless steel ACME leadscrew
• Precision-ground stainless steel guide system

Features

• Designed for the linear movement of large flange-mounted instruments with minimum tilt or wobble in the movement, and allowing precision alignment before and after pump-down
• Manual units operated handwheel drives
• Motorized units driven by stepper motor or DC motor mechanisms
• Drives support bellows assemblies in a precision kinematic guide system, complete with anti-rotation and anti-deflection systems
• Standard travel distances of 50mm or 100mm (custom units available)
• Ideal for manipulation of surface science tools with respect to a sample's position, manipulation of evaporation and sputter sources, substrate and source shutters, sample heating stage adjustment, sample transfer applications, and general sample manipulation
