New K ALPHA X-ray Tubes

The X-ray tube made of brass is used as protection housing for small fixed-anode X-ray tubes and is completely free of lead-parts (only 50 kV).

To avoid overheating of the tube, a temperature limiter is integrated, which is daisy-chained to the cathode heating. When achieving max. housing temperature, the temperature limiter turns off the heating of the tube.

Applied insulating materials allow an anode voltage of 50 or 60 kV DC.

A diaphragm system for compensation of oil extension protects the tube against flashovers in any position, because no air bubble is located inside.

Applied insulating oil is specifically prepared and filled in under vacuum.

Tube heating is connected by a 4-pole female connector.

If tube has grid control and shall work with, the joint between black and brown wire of the provided heating-cable has to be ripped and the necessary grid voltage to be supplied between black (-) and brown (+) wire.

The tube never has to be operated with open grid connection.

Heating data depend on the applied type of tube.

High voltage connection results from a high voltage-cable with UHF-plug 5/8-24 UNEF.

Necessarily the connection has to be protected against impurity and humidity by the protection cap, which is included in delivery. High voltage-cable has to be cleaned if necessary and the dry surface to be fine coated with Silicone Paste P4 (available from us) before installation.

High voltage connection results from a non-removable high voltage-cable.

HV-cables and heating-cables are available in customized length.
