Vacuum Passthru Hardware

Fiberoptic Displacement Sensors are ideal for displacement and position measurements in vacuum. They have a wide temperature range, are UV compatible, small in size and can have sub-micron accuracy.

Philtec vacuum passthru hardware enables installation of fiberoptic probes into vacuum chambers over a wide variety of applications.

Applications For Vacuum Passthru:

  • in high electrical fields
  • in high magnetic fields
  • at high temperatures
  • at cryogenic temperatures
  • in cryogenic fluids
  • in ultra high vacuum

Bv1 series

Bv1 vacuum feedthrough hardware

background

 

Bv1 is a popular option for high vacuum measurements.

It can be configured with different sizes of CF or KF flanges.

A Swagelok Ultra-Torr compression fitting is brazed or welded to the flange.

The assembly is on 5x 10-10 hrs. cc/s He checked for leaks.

At the interface of the fiber optic connector, leakage through the fibers is sealed with sapphire windows over the fiber bundles.
