VBMD Series Magnetically-Coupled Rotary Feedthroughs

Our VBMD series feedthroughs are equipped with a magnetically-coupled shaft and are available in two flange sizes . They are capable of full 360º rotation and can be operated manually or optionally by 2 phase stepper motor or pneumatic drive. Compared to mechanical bellows rotary drive, magnetic drives can be more durable in high RPM motorised applications. Manual versions offer a lower cost solution where limited torque is required and backlash is unimportant.

Key Features


  • Flange sizes from DN16CF-DN40CF as standard
  • Manually driven, optionally with 2 phase NEMA23 stepper motor or pneumatic actuator
  • Motor options with handwheel at the rear of the motor for manual operation
  • Bakeable to 230ºC (motor must be removed for bakeout for the motorised version, manual version can be baked as-is)
  • Pressure range 1 bar to 10-11 mbar
  • Flanges from 316LN, tube from 316L stainless steel
  • If you require a different shaft length, shaft end modification different motor or different flange, please ask us.
