Abstract
A linear motion apparatus for moving an object in a vacuum chamber comprising an antenna or a telescoping shaft such as a fishing rod to effectively utilize space, and to avoid the need of a rear projection thereby achieving stability. The linear motion apparatus includes: a body having a space portion penetrated horizontally; a rotary handle which penetrates at a right angle to the space portion of the body thereby controlling a linear motion; locking portion which is mounted in the space portion of the body, is inserted into a shaft of the rotary handle, and used to lock the motion; a guide rod which is formed as a multistage rod, whose one end is inserted and fixed into a predetermined position of the space portion of the body; linear motion force providing portion whose one end is fixed to the rotary plate and the other end is fixed to a nose portion of the guide rod, thereby providing a linear motion force to the guide rod; and a bellows seal which surrounds a circumference of the guide rod, is shrunken or expanded according to a linear motion of the guide rod. As a result, this apparatus performs a linear motion control by a contraction and expansion under ultra high vacuum.
