Selecting Linear Mechanics for a Vacuum Environment: 7 factors

Submitted by the Parker Electromechanical Team

The elimination of air and gases is a great start to be contaminant-free, but a vacuum chamber won't be empty of components when completing an application. You should ensure nothing in the chamber will cause contamination, including the linear mechanics.
