Sample Environment for Flag-Style Plates, Adding Azimuthal Rotation (Prepared for Attocube ANR240)

Product code: SAECROMROTANR240IF

This SAE module is part of Ferrovac’s modular Sample Environment system and provides an interface tailored for the Attocube ANR240RES/LT rotator. It includes the standardized SAE mechanical interface on one side for mounting to a cryostat or adapter, such as the ADCRHFST400SAE.

The housing is manufactured from oxygen-free copper with gold plating, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity. Titanium interface elements match the coefficient of thermal expansion of the Attocube rotator and provide fully non-magnetic operation.

Important: This version does not include the Attocube ANR240 positioner itself. It is intended for users who already own or separately source the rotator.

All SAE modules support the installation of various temperature sensors, including Pt100, Pt1000, Cernox, diodes, and thermocouples. A side-mounted cable channel provides secure routing and protection of the sensor wiring. A standard TMPTCR100S(500K) platinum resistor is included in the basic configuration. 

The SAECROMROTANR240IF module is pre-wired with UHV-compatible bespoken lenght, polyimide isolated phosphorous bronze wires for 4-lead temperature measurement. The cables are terminated with 1mm diameter crimp pins, matching the standardized 24-pin circular connector of all Ferrovac Boomerax Inserts. 

The SAECROM module also includes a central 9 mm through-hole for optical access to the back side of the sample, making it well-suited for transmission experiments.

Separately purchased ANR240 positioners can be shipped to Ferrovac for system integration. Alternatively, Ferrovac can provide the azimuthal rotation SAE-module as a complete package, including control electronics and software. Please contact us to discuss the details or system integration.
