Special Magnet Systems

The AMS-02 superconducting magnet. With a diameter of nearly 3 metres and a cold mass approaching 2 tonnes, AMS-02 will be the first large superconducting magnet to be launched into space. The 14 coils generate fields up to 7 T and are cooled to 1.8 K by 2500 litres of superfluid Helium.

 

Scientific Magnetics has installed and commissioned a 5 Tesla actively shielded asymmetric split pair magnet system to be used for Neutron scattering experiments. The vertical field magnet is installed at the Spallation Neutron Source, located at the Oak Ridge national Laboratory, TN, USA and has the advantages of very low stray field (less than 0.0005 T at 50 cm from the sample), an asymmetric field profile optimised for using polarised Neutron beams and a compact size.

A 3D Vector Magnet design which generates single axis magnetic fields of 5 T in one direction and 1.3 T in the other two axes. With multiple axes energised, the maximum fields generated are 3 T, 1 T and 1 T. The magnet is designed for UHV operation and is capable of being baked to 100°C

A 3D magnet system providing vector operation with 6 T in one direction and 2 T in the other two axes. This system provides the users with the capability of loading samples into a UHV environment where the temperature can be varied between 1.5K and 370K and a magnetic field applied in any direction relative the incoming x-ray beam.

A 3D vector magnet designed to generate a magnetic field of 0.4 T in any direction. The magnet is designed to operate at currents of less than 5 A.
