My application involves radiation inside a vacuum can Empire Magnetics supply motors that are both vacuum compatible and radiation hardened?
Yes, on a best-effort basis. To understand the efforts involved in this request one has to understand the materials that are used in the motors and the impact the material choices have on the customer. The materials of concern are the long chain molecules, or organic compounds. Once the carefully selected vacuum compatible materials are subject to radiation the long chain molecules are broken down and the newly created materials have different physical properties, including different vapor pressures. As a result we cannot predict the outgassing rates of the motors after they are subjected to various levels of radiation.
