Cold Head

Cold Head


The cold head is a key component for cryogenic applications, developed to generate and maintain extremely low temperatures. This component plays a central role in fields such as cryogenics, quantum research, superconductivity, and space technology by efficiently transferring heat from the cold source (e.g., a cryocooler) to the cooled objects.

Manufactured from high-purity copper and stainless steel, the cold head offers outstanding thermal and mechanical properties. Its construction features precisely shaped geometries tailored to specific application requirements. With vacuum compatibility and stability under cryogenic conditions, it is indispensable for reaching temperatures near absolute zero.
