Many of Queengate’s nanopositioning and nanosensing products are available in versions suitable for ultra-high vacuum, radiation-hard, and cryogenic applications, including synchrotrons, scanning electron microscopes, and space missions. We also design customized variants when off-the-shelf products are not suitable. Products designed to operate in UHV conditions require careful preparation and selection of materials. As well as operating effectively in a vacuum, the products may also need to withstand cryogenic temperatures or be subjected to radiation. As well as selecting appropriate materials (eg rad-hard components) correct preparation is crucial. Ultrasonic cleaning removes oils and carbon residue from any metalwork on parts and bake-out procedures are recommended to remove any solvent residues before use. If you have a high-vacuum application where you requiring a nano-positioning solution please contact us.
