Edwards Aim Body Tube Assembly NW40 Base

The Edwards D14545801 is a replacement Aim Body Tube Assembly designed for the Edwards AIM (Active Inverted Magnetron) Gauges. This assembly features an NW40 (KF40) flange base and serves as the sensing core of the vacuum gauge. It houses the anode and cathode assembly used to measure high vacuum pressures. As an inverted magnetron gauge, it uses a magnetic field to sustain a plasma discharge. Over time, the internal surfaces of a vacuum gauge become contaminated by process gases, oils, or sputtered material. The D14545801 allows you to replace the entire sensing tube without having to replace the expensive electronics. Some of the common applications include mass spectrometry, thin film deposition, and general research.
