Vacuum & Ultraclean Motion Control

Product catalog summary
Overview: Picomotor actuators are precision devices used in optical and mechanical systems for fine-positioning. They provide better than 30-nm incremental motion, minimal backlash, and can exert a force of 5 lbs (22 N). Known for long-term stability, they hold positions without power and have a tested lifetime of over a billion steps.
Vacuum Compatibility: Two versions are available: "-V" for standard vacuum (10-6 Torr) and "-UHV" for ultrahigh vacuum (10-9 Torr). Both use low-outgassing materials, suitable for semiconductor applications, with sulfur-free options available.
Applications: These actuators are used in OEM designs for linear actuation and optical mounts for precision adjustments. Models like 8341-V or 8341-UHV are used for rotation without translation and are compatible with Intelligent Picomotor driver modules.
Specifications: Actuators offer <30-nm resolution, a maximum load of 5 lbs (22 N), and a speed of 1.2 mm/min. They operate within 10–40 °C and survive –40 to 100 °C. Various models offer different travel ranges and vacuum compliance levels.
High-Radiation Applications: Custom versions with Kapton®-coated wire extensions are recommended for high-radiation environments.
Picomotor Actuator Ultra: Designed for clean-critical environments, offering <30-nm resolution over a 3-mm travel range, suitable for VUV/EUV and UHV environments with an outgassing rate of <0.1 ppm.
Closed-Loop Picomotor Actuator: Model 8310-V offers closed-loop control with an integrated rotary encoder and limit switches, providing ±1-µm bi-directional repeatability, compatible with iPico™ network controllers.
Conclusion: Picomotor actuators are versatile and reliable for precision motion control in various environments, including vacuum and high-radiation settings, with seamless integration into complex systems.
Optomechanical Components Overview: The document details ultraclean and vacuum-compatible components for precision applications in semiconductor equipment, minimizing contamination and outgassing.
Specifications: Nickel-plated mounts for UV beamsteering with low outgassing rates (<5 ppm at 85°C over three hours). Vacuum-compatible to 10-6 Torr, available in top and center mount versions with optic diameters of 1" and thickness options of 6 mm or 1/4" and 8 mm.
Product Models: Models include 9814-6-Ni-K-V and 9817-6-Ni-K-V, priced $285 to $415, covered by U.S. Patent #5,140,470, with a lifetime warranty.
Tiny Mounts: Stainless steel mounts for limited space applications, offering over 2 mm of translation and ±4° of tilt, vacuum-compatible to 10-6 Torr, available in styles like Tiny Corner and Tiny Gimbal, starting at $250.
OEM Solutions: New Focus offers customized OEM solutions for ultraclean, low outgassing, UV, and critical environments, including precision beam-alignment systems and vacuum-compatible stages.
Additional Information: Related products include mirrors, removable knobs, posts, and pedestals, with 3D models available on the company's website.
