Challenges and Solutions in Vacuum Actuator Design

Vacuum environments present unique engineering challenges, including material selection, thermal management, and operation without atmospheric pressure.

During this session, Erwin Hofste will highlight key design considerations and proven solutions for actuators operating in demanding high- and ultra-high vacuum environments, including:

• Material selection: Using low-outgassing materials to help maintain a stable vacuum environment.

• Lubrication: Applying special lubricants or dry-running concepts to minimize particle generation.

• Magnetic optimization: Designing electromagnetic systems that perform efficiently in vacuum conditions without overheating.
