We have also undertaken research and development on behalf of customers including Rolls-Royce and Siemens, and in collaboration with universities including Cambridge, Oxford, and London.
| AMS-02 superconducting magnet |
 |
| With a
diameter of nearly 3 m 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 indirectly cooled to 1.8
K by 2500 litres of superfluid helium. The system was shipped from
Scientific Magnetics in December 2008. For a data sheet on the AMS-02 superconducting magnet, please click here. |

High temperature superconducting magnets (HTS magnets) |
 |
|
Scientific Magnetics was the first company to make commercial
superconducting magnets from high temperature superconductor, and
retains unrivalled expertise in the field. These cryogen free systems produce fields up to 3 T on axis and are used in combination with NdFeB permanent magnets in ECR Ion source assemblies. The use of HTS magnets provides a compact and low-power alternative to resistive electromagnets for this application. Use of HTS coils reduces the power consumption from typically 200 kW to 12 kW. In addition, Scientific Magnetics in collaboration with the University of Oxford, via the Knowledge Transfer Partnership, have produced the world's first HTS magneto-hydrodynamic drive technology demonstrator.

5 T actively shielded asymmetric split pair superconducting magnet |
| Scientific Magnetics
has installed and commissioned a
5 Tesla actively shielded asymmetric split pair superconducting
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. For a data sheet on this magnet system, please click here. |
| Superconducting quadrupole magnet coil development |
 |
| On behalf of the
Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, Virginia, Scientific Magnetics has
been developing quadrupole magnet coils for the accelerator upgrade. |
