Electromagnet before 2019-09-10

This page lists the parameters of the first version of the FFT electromagnet that was installed in the FFT end-station from the start of SCS operation up to the 10th of September 2019 when an improved version was put in place instead.

../../_images/electromagnet-temperature.png

Temperature of the electromagnet for different settings. From elog 270.

The magnetic field generated by the electromagnet is shown in electromagnet_field.

gap between pole (mm) maximum current (A) maximum field (T)
7.7 12 0.37

The temperature reached near the coil winding edge on the pole is shown in electromagnet_temperature. Combination of 5°C cooling and high water flow-rate should keep the coil temperature <50°C when operating at 12 A in vacuum.

The geometry of the pole shoe is defined in CAD file.
