4 LSM Actuation options The LSM range is available with a variety of manual, pneumatic and motorised actuation methods. Manual actuation Position Readout/Feedback ode Item escription ode Item escription Manual A manual handwheel provides the most basic method of actuation. S ngraved shaft LSMs can be fitted with a shaft engraved with a scale with 1mm increments for visual positioning. G Manual with geared-handwheel Pneumatic actuation ode Item escription Large bore LSMs are fitted with a 5:1 geared handwheel to provide sufficient mechanical advantage to overcome the additional thrust due to vacuum. P Pneumatic Pneumatic actuators provide a simple solution to automated operation. Standard design is for 2 position actuation. 3 position versions available upon request. Manual handwheel LA igital linear scale igital scale displays are fitted to LSMs via a kinematic mount ensuring precise and repeatable location, which is critical for accurate repositioning after bakeout. The scale features large, easy to read characters that can be switched between metric and imperial units. The readout has a resolution of 10 microns (0.01mm). Users can set the Origin at any position of its stroke, from which it will provide a plus/minus scale in the units selected. The Origin is retained in its memory until reset by the user, even when switched off. A second temporary Zero facility is offered to enable one-off measurements to take place, which resets to the Origin setting when turned off. ngraved shaft Motorised actuation ode Item escription Pneumatic actuation N Magnetic encoder ontactless high-speed linear magnetic encoder with 10 micron resolution. S motorised A 12 or 24V motor provides the motion and is mounted to the side of the LSM. Special in-line versions are available upon request. igital linear scale SS Stepper motor driven A stepper motor provides the motion and is mounted to the side of the LSM. Special in-line versions are available upon request. UP Wiring upgrade When purchasing an LSM for use with a UV esign controller (please see section 13), an additional integration upgrade is available. The upgrade includes a bakeable socket connector, mounted to the frame, to which the limit switches are pre-wired. In the case of stepper motor-driven products, an extra home switch is also provided. The motor lead terminates with a connector compatible with UV esign's controllers. Motorised LSM Synchrotron Specification UV esign supplies LSMs to synchrotron facilities around the world for a range of applications including the positioning and manipulation of beam line diagnostics and mirrors. Synchrotron specific LSMs are tolerant of low level radiation, comply with low electrical noise requirements and are supplied with wiring protocols, motors and controllers to match the facility's specifications. ontact us to request our Synchrotron brochure or to discuss your requirements. xample of customised LSM for beam halo cleaning at the SPIRAL 2 synchrotron. 96 Linear Motion and Alignment Should your requirements fall outside our standard specifications then please contact us at: 44 (0) sales@uhvdesign.com 97
