Absorber Suspension

Absorber Suspension

for Front-End Components


The specially developed absorber suspension is designed for the secure and thermally decoupled mounting of massive B4C absorbers in front-end assemblies of particle accelerators. The structure, which appears delicate but is highly durable, is engineered to provide maximum mechanical stability, thermal separation, and vacuum compatibility with minimal material usage.

A distinctive feature is the robust mounting plate with four holes on the left end where the boron carbide absorber is suspended. The entire assembly is optimized for use in high-radiation and ultra-high vacuum environments.

Applications

Mounting and thermal decoupling of B4C absorbers in front-end beam shielding

Support structures for thermally sensitive components under vacuum

Mechanical and thermal isolation of high-energy absorbers

Joining Process

  • Vacuum-brazed copper-stainless steel joints for gas-tight and low-stress assemblies
  • IG weld seams with extremely low particle emissions for UHV applications
  • Particle-free final cleaning to prevent contamination in sensitive research environments
  • Systematic material selection: combination of highly conductive copper, structurally resilient stainless steel, and insulating elements
  • Radiation tolerance and durability: Designed for long-term operation in high-energy facilities
  • Geometrical optimization: Reduced mass and thermal conduction area while maintaining maximum stability

The absorber suspension is a highly functional custom construction for the safe mounting of B4C absorbers in front-end systems. Featuring advanced joining techniques, low-particle processing, and a thoughtful choice of materials, it is ideally suited for applications with extreme demands on cleanliness, stability, and thermal insulation. REUTER’s integrated know-how ensures maximum operational reliability and minimal outgassing.
