Description
The thickness of both evaporated and sputter coated films can be monitored. The sensor head is a water cooled, non-magnetic housing which is permanently positioned in the vacuum system. The crystal face is parallel to the water cooling feedthrough pipes. The Quartz Balance QO 40A1 is mounted on a DN 40CF flange with two Ø6 pipes and Microdot S-50 coaxial connector. Customized insertion length 130 – 500 mm (other on request).
Mounting flange | DN 40CF (rotatable) |
---|---|
Max. operation temperature | up to 300°C (with water cooling) |
Water cooling (required) | water flow > 0.5 l/min temperature: 20 – 30 °C max pressure: 6 bar |
Crystal frequency | 4.8 – 6 MHz, 14 mm diameter (industry standard) |
Insertion length | dependent on specification and geometry of the chamber |
Bakeout temperature | up to 150 °C |
