Elevating PowerProbe (EPP40 Series)
Linear Motion with Elevating Sample Head
Complete sampling-handling system providing linear motion and up to 50mm of lift in the Y-axis for sample hand-off. Stroke lengths from 304mm to 1219mm and motorization options available.
The Elevating PowerProbe transforms conventional approaches to sample transfer which would utilize 2 separate units for linear motion and lift/lower, into one fully functional device.
Available in standard stroke lengths from 304mm to 1219mm with motorization options. The EPP is bakeable to 250°C without removing any components.
For demanding UHV applications, we recommend choosing the "XEPP" option with rolling metal & ceramic bearings for smooth, low friction actuation, with minimal outgassing.
Features
- Up to 50mm of lift in the Y-axis
- Unrivalled axial coupling strength
- 10x the thrust of conventional probes
- Exceptional axial stiffness
- Zero backlash under low load
- Bakeable to 250°C without removing any components

Elevating PowerProbe
Our new design Elevating PowerProbe is a complete sample transfer solution offering up to 1219mm of linear transfer and 50mm of lift (up to 1.5Nm).
Runtime: 00:55
In addition to its internally-guided linear motion, the EPP has the ability to elevate its end-effector throughout its stroke, providing 12.7mm of lift as standard (with 25mm and 50mm options) in the Y axis for sample hand-off.Â
This PowerProbe variant greatly simplifies sample transfer techniques, providing a single device to provide both linear motion for sample introduction and the lift/lower motion to collect or hand-off the sample.
With a range of industry-standard effectors, the Elevating PowerProbe provides a complete sample-handling system in its own right removing the need for secondary motion tools. This reduces cost and simplifies the transfer process.

Specifications Table
| Model/Series | Elevating PowerProbe (EPP40) |
| Mounting Flange Size | DN40 (2.75" OD) CF Flange |
| Break-away Linear Force | 140 N (31.5 lbs) |
| Maximum Cantilevered Load | 1.5Nm (13 in-lbs) on elevating plate |
| Available Stroke Range | 304mm (12") to 1219mm (48") as standard |
| Sample Weight/Load Capacity | Maximum recommended internal load-carrying capacity will be a function of probe extension, but we recommend not to exceed a moment of 20 Nm (15 lbf ft) |
| Bakeout | 250°C (motor removed) |
| Pressure Range | Atm to 5 x 10-11 mbar |
| Position Locking | Thumbscrew (manual only) |
| Retracted Switch Option | Manually actuated drives may be purchased with an added "retracted micro-switch" to digitally indicate when the unit is in the fully retracted position. When used in conjunction with a PLC or other type relay, this can aid in ensuring a gatevalve is not accidentally closed when the probe is in the inserted position. |
