How an AML UHV-compatible stepper motor is made
Posted on Monday 12th October 2020 at 10:00
AML stepper motors are used in ultra-high vacuum systems that require in-vacuum object manipulation. They are specifically designed to eliminate trapped volumes and are manufactured using only UHV compatible materials. The motors are assembled using UHV-compatible methods, in a dedicated cleanroom at our factory in the United Kingdom. All motor components are initially cleaned using UHV compatible processes and are vacuum conditioned at elevated temperatures, before amorphous carbon surface tre... Read more

Cutting edge MEMS sensor technology: AGP-1 Active Pirani Gauge
Posted on Thursday 19th March 2020 at 14:00
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new Active Pirani Gauge, the AGP-1. This new vacuum gauge offers best-in class performance by utilizing a MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) heat-loss Pirani sensor with a Piezo diaphragm sensor. The combination of these state-of-the-art sensors provide repeatable and accurate ultra-high vacuum measurements in the range of 1 x 10-6 mBar to 1333 mBar. The AGP Pirani gauge utilises precision digital signal processing and advanced measurement alg... Read more
