• Snap-on cover eliminates inconsistencies in setup and increases bearing life.
• Enclosed bearings reduce particle escape and potential contamination of wafers.
• 2-bearing pivot assembly decreases future replacement costs as compared to 4-bearing OEM design.
• Durability of ceramic bearings and stainless steel races allow for 3+ years of use without replacement or repair.
• Tightness of x-style bearing reduces wrist droop.
• Includes a 2 year warranty.
• Available for AMAT HP®, HP+, VHP® and VHP+ 150mm and 200mm robots.

• Hybrid ceramic bearings increase product life span and reduce particles.
• Integral shields increase race stiffness and help retain lubricant to further reduce particles.
• Patented stainless steel hub spacers provide stiffness against twisting and distorting.
• Increased spring force keeps the hub assembly vertically aligned to ensure bearing stability and reduce robot droop.
• Upper and lower bearing spacers are pinned together to eliminate lateral motion during robot.
• Upper and lower motors are locked in place to eliminate motor jumping and twisting and improve repeatability.
• For 150mm and 200mm HP® and HP+ robots.

• Bearings consist of ceramic load-bearing balls with smaller stainless steel spacer balls for durability.
• Races are made from hardened 440 stainless steel to reduce wear and increase product life.
• Shields help to retain lubricant within the bearing to further reduce particle contamination.
• High-performance, long-life grease is compatible with high-vacuum environments and a wide range of process chemistries.
• Available for AMAT VHP® and Producer® 200mm and 300mm robots.

• Features an improved shaft and bearing spring preload mechanism.
• Wave spring gives consistent and even force to the bearings, resulting in longer bearing life and decreased droop.
• Fixed spring cap eliminates tension adjustment and setup variability.
• Includes a 2 year warranty.
• Available for AMAT HP and HDP and robots.
• High-quality elbow bearings kits are available For HP+ and VHP+ robots.
OEM WRIST
FABWORX WRIST
• Designed to improve yield and productivity in Endura® and Centura® platforms.
• Patented interconnected stainless steel bands replace interlocking pivot gears, improving reliability and wafer placement repeatability.
• Preventive maintenance (PM) is eliminated.
• Ceramic bearings are used for long life and are enclosed to protect from process deposition and prevent particles from entering the process environment.
• Compatible with 300mm VHP® and XP® robots.
Centura, Endura, VHP, and XP are registered trademarks of Applied Materials, Inc.
• 150mm, 200mm and 300mm end effectors available
• Three replaceable perfluoroeslastomer o-rings provide exceptional coefficient of friction to eliminate wafer sliding and associated particles.
• O-rings are rated for process temperatures up to 485*C.
• Location of o-rings removes the topographical stress normally caused by wafer bowing when a wafer is supported by its outside diameter.
• Available in designs suitable for the buffer or transfer chamber.
• A variety of end effector materials are available, including stress-free 6061 aluminum, alumina-ceramic coatings, Titanium and molybdenum.
