Linear Motion Standard linear motion feedthroughs are theperfect solution for most linear displacement vacuum applications.Linear position is measured along both radial and linear scales laser etched on actuator barrel and housing. Radial and linear scales are graduated in 0.001" and 0.025" increments respectively. One revolution of the barrel translates into 0.025" of linear travel.The housings linear scale also includes graduation in 1mm increments for added convenience.Edge welded stainless steel bellows,a 40 pitch lead screw design and the use of linear bearing shaft support provide devices...
