Grabbers
- Secure Grasp: Once a flag style sample plate is engaged, it can't fall out during transfer.
- Easy to Use: Grabbing mechanism is activated by rotation, requiring no clamping motion.
- Single-Shaft Compatible: Can be used with most Ferrovac single-shaft manipulators.
Why Choose Ferrovac Grabbers?
Ferrovac Grabbers ensure grip security and ease-of-use for transfers in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments. Designed for seamless integration with single-shaft manipulators, these tools enable precise linear motion transfers for various sample holder types.
Grabber vs Pincer:
Grabbers are ideal for applications utilizing single-shaft manipulators. The intuitive quarter-turn locking mechanism ensures samples are held securely without risk of over-rotation. Common application examples include sample loading into UHV suitcases or linear transport between vacuum chambers.

Sample Holder Fit:
Next to the standard design for flag style sample plates (Product Code: SHOM), there are various other grabber designs available.
Alternative compatible sample holders include Dovetail and AP-Puck sample holders.Shaft Size Fit:
While most grabber designs are standardized to fit all Ferrovac single-shaft manipulators, select models may be available in tailored mounting diameters.
Options:
Specific research needs might call for additional grabber design adaptations, such as grabbers suited for crogenic applications, or ultra slim grabbers with further reach.
