That's why I am not going to use stainless steel at all. I will use brass or beryllium copper.

Because 316L can be slightly magnetic.

1 E-8 mbar to 1 E-7 mbar

Do any of you know with certainty a non-magnetic metal that can be use in UHV. On some websites they say Brass or 304L Stainless steel are good and on others they say that they can be slightly magnetic...

Yeah thanks I know google translate... I still do not understand your last sentence, even translated in French.

Thanks for your answers. I read about out-gassing and looked at materials that can be used in UHV but my other constraint is that it must be non-magnetic. Even slightly magnetic is out of the question. I do not fully understand what you mean. (Btw I am French, so I get by in English but it is...

Thanks for your answer phinds. 1) Yes it is possible. I am working on a prototype with elements from 0.1 to 6 milimeters. 2) I was afraid that some air could be blocked between the rack and the pinion. 3)I have a rod and inside it I have another one that must be able to move perpendicularly...

Hi everybody, I have a question with no clear answer so far. Does the rack and pinion mechanism work in UHV ? I have to translate an object in very confined scace (less than 10 mm), all in UHV. Any response is welcome :)

Hi everybody, I am a French engineering student currently doing my internship at home due to the Covid-19. Unfortunately I do not have many support or people to aks for help, so I hope this forum can help me.
