Description


RNN™ Series Differentially Pumped Rotary Seal

Differentially pumped rotary seals (RNNs) provide 360° of continuous rotary freedom through the vacuum wall of a UHV system. The RNN has two stages of differential pumping isolated by graphite-impregnated, expanded, Teflon® seals on special sealing surfaces. A preloaded ball bearing set accurately controls the rotating stage position.

rnn600

RNNs are available with a worm drive fine adjust option. This allows for easier and more accurate angle adjustment. RNNs are also available with anti-backlash stepping or synchronous motor drive.

RNNs with up to 12″ I.D. are listed. Larger I.D.s have been built with excellent performance. Please consult factory for special applications.

Specifications

  • Models with clear inside diameters of 1.53″ to 12″ standard, larger sizes on request
  • Bakeable to 150°C
  • Stationary and rotation flanges, tapped
  • Thickness approximately that of two ConFlat-type flanges
  • 2 stage differentially pumped
  • Base pressures in 10-11 Torr range
  • 0–360° scale with Vernier, standard

Typical Performance Specifications for RNN-400 and larger models

  • Repeatability:  <0.008°
  • Backlash:        <0.035°

Readability Specifications

  • Standard scale: 1.0°

  • Custom pumpout tube lengths and crank shaft lengths on /FA units available

Payloads

The standard maximum payloads are listed below. Larger loads may be handled under specific applications. Please consult the factory for custom applications.

  • The center of gravity of the payload is within “X” of the polar axis of the unit, where X is equal to 10% of the RNN I.D.
  • The center of gravity of the payload is within “Y” distance of the rotating flange on the horizontal mounted units, where Y is the flange I.D.
  • The overall maximum size “A” of the payload outside vacuum is:
    Vertical operation: 7 x flange O.D.    Horizontal operation: 5 x flange O.D.    Inverted operation: 7 x flange O.D.
