About Scientific Magnetics
At Scientific Magnetics, we offer standard and tailor-made superconducting magnet and cryogenic solutions. Whether
you require a simple solenoid in a bath cryostat, a
cryogen-free system, or a superconducting magnet and cryogenic system with new or unusual
features, you should be talking to us.
Working from your technical specification or performance requirements,
we can develop a superconducting magnet system from the initial geometry of the coils, through design, to assembly, test and commissioning.
We manufacture superconducting magnets from both low-temperature and high-temperature superconductor, in circular and non-circular geometries.
We design and build cryostats operating at temperatures down to 0.3 K, including normal and superfluid helium systems, zero boil-off (recondensing) and cryogen-free magnet systems.
We also design and build cryogenic valve boxes and special cryostats for a wide variety of applications.
Firsts
Scientific Magnetics operates at the cutting edge of superconducting technology. Our world firsts include:
- The world's first large superconducting magnet for use in space
- The world's first cryogen free superconducting magnet for use in space
- The world's first commercially produced HTS superconducting magnet
- The world's first HTS superconducting magnets for ECR ion sources
- The world's first HTS superconducting magneto-hydrodynamic drive (MHD) for boat propulsion
- The world's first self-shielded asymmetric split pair superconducting magnet system
- The world's first range of fully 3-dimensional superconducting vector magnets with access along all 3 axes
Scientific Magnetics has undertaken collaborative research and development using applied superconductivity with Universities including Cambridge, London and Oxford. Our customers are located throughout the world, and include companies such as Rolls Royce, Siemens and Astrium, together with research institutes including CERN, ETH Zurich, GSI Darmstadt and the Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, Virginia.
Scientific Magnetics is also pleased to offer completely integrated field-temperature environments for the demanding researcher.
