[RASMB] AUC Cell Housing Keys

[Kiara Jordon]

Hello RASMB,


AUC Cell Housing Keys

Due to the extreme mechanical stress caused in assembly and normal 
spinning of AUC cell assemblies, as well as stress caused by thermal 
cycling cells it is not unusual for the cell alignment key to come out 
of the housing. During manufacturing, cell housing keys are glued into 
the housing keyway with a high performance epoxy. Care must be taken 
when gluing/re-gluing keys into housings to ensure the surfaces are 
prepared correctly to accept the glue. Only epoxy should be used because 
of the vacuum environment.

Because cell alignment keys do occasionally come loose, any customer who 
purchases cell housings from Spin Analytical can return them to have 
them repaired. During the repair we inspect the cell housing and key for 
damage. If the key is damaged we will replace it with a new key.


Thank you and warm regards,


Kiara Jordon
