Meeting Feedthrough Challenges on the A-3 Test Stand
of leakage, and provide great flexibility to handle future requirements.”. On the A-3 test stand, the low voltage signals (30mV and lower) require continuous feedthrough to prevent signal attenuation, while the 28VDC control signals are routed using connectors. To prevent cross talk, each channel

The six challenges of specifying and procuring hermetic feedthroughs for space simulation
be met in terms of materials and system reliability. A typical comment we hear from our space simulation customers is that, "Everything is important in our supply chain." Compliance with standards is important. For example, our epoxy was recently approved by NASA as a low outgassing material. Depending

Magnetic fluids tackle tough sealing jobs
of industrial rotation equipment. Ferrofluid seals generally fall into two categories: those used on high-vacuum-processing equipment, and low-friction, hermetic seals that exclude particulates and gases. In vacuum-manufacturing processes, magnetic fluids seal feedthroughs transmitting rotary motion

Motor Designs To Survive Hostile Environments
developed for motor-hostile environments -- can reliably withstand the effects of radiation, underwater operation, vacuum operation, and extremely high and low temperatures, among other conditions. Accordingly, these motors are the key to a wide range of new motion control opportunities. Empire Magnetics

Waterproof Step Motors Make Waves in Industry
, standard step motors are not designed to facilitate seals. They are designed to be low in cost. As a result, proper sealing of the motor would require a complete re-design of motor parts, with an increase in manufacturing cost. A proper design approach for motors exposed to moisture incorporates
