Scientific Magnetics (AMS-02 Superconducting Magnet)

 

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.

 

Hardy Advanced Composites worked with Scientific Magnetics to develop support tubes for the radiation shields on this superconducting magnet which is due to be launched into space in 2009 for use on the International Space Station (ISS).

 

Scientific Magnetics offer both standard and tailor-made superconducting magnet and cryogenic solutions. Whether you require a simple solenoid in a bath cryostat or a superconducting magnet and cryogenic system with new or unusual features, you should be talking to them. Working from your detailed technical specification or performance requirements, Scientific Magnetics can develop a magnet system from the initial geometry of the coils, through design, to assembly, test and commissioning.
