The technology behind actuators in Ultra High Vacuum

On the subject “actuators in vacuum” there are a lot of discussions possible; First you need to define the term vacuum for your application. Is it low vacuum? Is it High Vacuum or even Ultra High Vacuum?


Then also the definition Vacuum Compatible raises questions.

If an actuator is vacuum compatible, does that automatically mean suitable for use in vacuum?


In this presentation Erwin Hofste from the Dutch company Magnetic Innovations will share with us information about the differences between vacuum compatibility (it won’t fail in vacuum) and vacuum suitability (it will contribute to the level of vacuum) for electro-magnetic actuators.
