Beamline Support Assembly

The NEC beamline support assembly is useful wherever support and accurate adjustment is necessary for beamline tubing.

Applications

These assemblies have been in use for many years on the standard Pelletron® accelerator systems throughout the world. They have allowed precise adjustment while providing secure support.

Design

The beamline support assembly is a cast aluminum structure with four adjustment screws. The top third of the support ring is removable.

The support assembly can support beam tubes with O.D as large as 9.0” and as low as 6.0”. Adapters are available to accommodate beam tube diameters as low as 2.0”. The adjustment is provided by four 3/8-16 x 3” long screws with swivel pads on one end. Adjustment is made using a standard Allen wrench.

The base of the cast aluminum assembly has bolt holes that allow it to secure to a beamline support frame.

Options

For beam tube diameters 4.0” or less, insert adapters are available that clamp directly to the pipe and are supported from the adjustment screws in the beamline support assembly. These adapters allow secure support without overextension of the adjustment screws.

Accessories

NEC can also supply beamline support frames, beam tubing, and a wide variety of flange assemblies built to your custom specifications.
