UHV Bakeable Sensors

Overview

INFICON UHV Bakeable Crystal Sensors offer proven reliability and durability and have the best thermal stability of any sensor head on the market. Made from 304 Stainless Steel, Molybdenum, Inconel, Nickel, and Alumina materials, the UHV Bakeable Sensor is designed to withstand continuous bakeout temperatures up to 450° C (for bakeout only, water flow required for actual deposition monitoring). The front load design allows for easy insertion of the crystal holder in applications lacking sufficient room for side insertion.

Each sensor comes completely assembled and includes integral water tubes, in-vacuum coaxial cable (Front Load) or in-vacuum conduit (Cool Drawer), water tube bending tool, crystal snatcher (Front Load), and operating instructions. All air and water tubes (except the bakeable sensor) are 1/8 inch (0.32cm) O.D. All shuttered sensors require the 750-420-G1 pneumatic control valve. Limited use with other controllers is possible call KJLC +1 800 245 1656 or click here to contact us with any technical questions.

NOTES

Orders for sensors welded to the feedthroughs should be requested with a length, in cm, between 17 and 99 cm. If another length is needed, please contact us by clicking here . Once special length or manufactured order is confirmed, it can not be canceled.
Sensor lengths are measured from center of the crystal to the vacuum side (sealing surface) of the feedthrough.
For sensors ordered without a weld connection (option "0" or "8"), tubes are made to a length of 29.75" (756mm) for "E" length and Cool Drawer sensors and 44.75" (1137mm) for "G" length sensors.
