(also identified by MPN 5390-54A107452) is a high-precision vacuum rotary feedthrough manufactured by Ferrotec. This device uses a specialized magnetic liquid to transmit rotational motion from the atmosphere into a vacuum chamber without compromising the hermetic seal.
Key Specifications & Performance
Sealing Technology: Uses a magnetic "liquid O-ring" for a true hermetic seal in both static and dynamic states.
Vacuum Rating: Designed for high vacuum, typically achieving
Torr or better.
Maintenance-Free Design: The fluid medium eliminates mechanical contact, offering a long lifespan with no maintenance required, save for bearing considerations.
Pressure Capacity: Each internal stage generally handles a pressure differential of about 0.2 atmospheres (200 mbar).
Core Dimensions & Specifications
While specific "D" variants can have custom shaft lengths, the primary dimensions for this series on a standard 2.75" CF (ConFlat) flange are as follows:
Flange OD (Outer Diameter): 2.73 inches (approx. 70 mm).
Bolt Circle (PCD): 2.312 inches (58.7 mm).
Bolt Holes: 6 holes, typically 0.265 inches in diameter.
ID (Shaft Diameter): The "53" series often utilizes a 0.375 inch (3/8") solid shaft.
Length:
Housing/Body Length: Typically ~2.06 to 2.56 inches.
Overall Length: Total length including the shaft extension is approximately 4.06 inches.
Technical Features
Vacuum Rating: High vacuum, typically reaching
Torr or better.
Leak Rate: Rated at
std. cc/sec (He).
Material: Constructed with 300 series stainless steel housings and magnetic stainless steel shafts.
Maintenance: No-wear liquid O-rings provide a long service life without traditional seal replacement.
