Oak Ridge, Tennessee: Cryomagnetics, Inc., an engineering
and manufacturing facility specializing in superconducting magnets, cryostats, and related
cryogenic accessories, successfully tests a 17/19T superconducting magnet. This represents
the highest field superconducting magnet manufactured by Cryomagnetics to date. An 18/20T
development project will soon be completed and another record-breaking product is eagerly
anticipated.
The successfully tested superconducting magnet is a solenoid configured for nuclear demagnetization experimentation. Although Cryomagnetics has delivered several superconducting magnets up to 17T, the company's engineering and production staff faced new challenges with this project.
The customer required the new superconducting magnet to fit an existing cryostat and dilution refrigerator. The cryostat was somewhat smaller in diameter than ideal, so advanced magnet engineering combined with the latest high current density superconducting wire produced a workable design. Other requirements of the customer included a low-field region situated close to the main coil. This low-field region could not affect the main coil's stringent 1 X 10-4 over 10mm on axis central field homogeneity specification. Finally the customer required a modulation coil that could be easily removed from the magnet's bore.
Specifications are as follows:
Cryomagnetics, Inc. has been engineering and manufacturing custom superconducting magnets for over 13 years. As a world leader in custom and standard superconducting magnet systems, customer needs are quickly addressed without compromise.
