The intended use of this device is for correcting any slight misalignment between a mounted device and the intended aim point (focal point) inside a vacuum. Sometimes a port on the vacuum chamber just doesn’t quite point where it should. The MTS Jacking Port Aligner solves this with two UHV flanges connected by a short section of welded bellows and a sturdy clamping mechanism. The bellows allows the flanges to tilt +/- 3º total. This makes for easy alignment of long devices like magnetic introduction and sample transfer rods.

Loosen the jam nuts on the top jacking ring. Position is achieved by tightening these nuts against the spherical washers on each jacking screw. Ensure both top and bottom jacking nuts are tight to prevent any unintended movement.
