New support and actuator system also works in ultra-high vacuumCHELMSFORD, Mass., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- McPherson introduces a new line of mechanical positioning systems with high load capacity and stiffness. Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151006/274272 This strut based mounting system minimizes vibration, and allows easy and precise position adjustment of a wide variety of hardware. It can even work inside high vacuum or ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems. The six struts provide very solid (seismically adequate) support. When sub millimeter alignment is required, the six-strut system is a proven way of rigidly supporting instruments and fixtures with precise adjustability. Even the smallest designs support 200 lbs. The strut mechanical positioner has up to six degrees of freedom; translational: X, Y, Z; and angular: pitch, roll, and yaw. It consists of a support system made up of adjustable struts, and provides support without adding stress or dstortion. The struts have ball joint ends and an orthogonal arrangement to simplify position adjustments. The result is a strong, rigid system that allows easily positioning, even heavy equipment, in all six degrees of freedom.
