Application context
Turn a horizontal assembly onto its side without redesigning the mounting scheme.
Attach positioners to the vertical face of a cryostat cold finger or sample rod.
Reorient a stage so its travel lines up with a window or port fixed by the cryostat design.
Specifying this part
Stick-slip inertial drives dissipate energy per step and draw no holding current once stopped, so the steady-state load on the mixing chamber is the wiring loom rather than the motor. Anchor the loom at each temperature stage and thermalise the moving body with an FTC copper braid.
Titanium bodies (BeCu on the .ULT variants) and BeCu fasteners throughout, rated for operation to 35 T and down to 30 mK with the .ULT option, at 2 × 10⁻¹¹ mbar with .UHV. A single steel screw substituted at installation is enough to compromise a high-field assembly.
