<strong>Linear</strong> translator shifts are heavy duty translators<br />

designed to move large objects accurately in and<br />

out of a vacuum system. Three sizes of bellows<br />

and a variety of Z stroke lengths are available.<br />

The unit is intended primarily for vertical operation<br />

with the load supported load on the Z axis.<br />

The <strong>VG</strong> <strong>Scienta</strong> technical department should be<br />

consulted for alternative orientations.<br />

<strong>Linear</strong> Translator Shift - LTS Series<br />

The Z motion is provided through three equispaced<br />

lead screws which are synchronously<br />

driven by a drive chain. Manual operation is<br />

provided by a nut attached to the chain tensioner,<br />

or alternatively by an optional handwheel<br />

assembly operating through a wormdrive reduction<br />

system.<br />

The lead screws are firmly mounted to the fixed<br />

base flange to provide cantilever and strut support<br />

as well as providing Z motion. All translators<br />

have additional stainless steel precision<br />

guide rods running in bronze bushings.<br />
