Rotary feedthroughs for very high axial loads, with ALMA flange and short hollow shaft

For very high axial loads
For high transmittable torque
Large internal diameter of hollow shaft
A wide variety of connection options

These rotary feedthroughs are much more than just "hollow-shaft seals". They perform important support and load-bearing functions within the assembly.

In conventional solutions the shaft was often installed by the customer. Here the hollow shaft is integrated, not only allowing one sealing position to be omitted, but also ruling out damage during assembly.

The ALMA flange has a highly flexible mounting geometry for both the substrate carrier on the vacuum side and the drive design on the atmospheric side.
