Macor ceramic: Quadrupole Rod Bracket
Alias: Machinable Glass-ceramic Quadrupole Rod Ring-bracket
Description：
In the domain of technical ceramics, Ceramic quadrupole rod brackets serve of supporting four metal electrode rods (typically molybdenum alloy or stainless steel) and matched precision parts and components, positioning them at the micron level and providing stability and support-force. The quadrupole is the "core functional carrier" of mass spectrometers and some ion analysis instruments, and its accuracy and performance directly determine the detection capabilities of the whole instrument, including resolution, ion detection range and sensitivity. Whether it is a liquid mass spectrometer for medical clinical testing or a gas mass spectrometer for environmental monitoring, quadrupoles are the basis for realizing the core function of "precise ion screening", without which the qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples cannot be completed.
With excellent insulation properties and corrosion resistance, Macor ceramic quadrupole brackets are now the optimal choice for use in spacecraft assembly, scientific experimental apparatus, and precision cutting-edge instrumentation.

Key Characteristics:
Macor is a specialized machinable glass-ceramic material produced by Corning Inc that exhibits considerable performance advantages across various application domains. Notably, Macor quadrupole rod brackets are frequently utilized in spacecraft assembly, scientific experimental apparatus, and precision cutting-edge instrumentation.
1. Macor has a pore free microstructure, making it impermeable to gases and liquids. Performed well in Ultra High Vacuum.
2. No sintering or further heat treatment is required, reducing manufacturing costs.
3. Can be used in combination with other materials such as metal and glass.
4. Not easy to creep or deform at high temperatures, with good dimensional stability.
5. Electrical Insulation:
Excellent electric insulator material, it is an ideal material for electronic components and high-voltage applications. In the electronics and aerospace sectors, this characteristic is essential for applications in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. The high resistivity of Macor, measured at 1016Ω·cm, renders it an exceptional electrical insulator, even under elevated thermal conditions.
6. Low thermal expansion coefficient. The coefficient of thermal expansion matches many metals and sealing glasses.
7. Chemical Resistance:
Has strong resistance to various chemical substances, including acids, bases, solvents, and gases. In corrosive environments, Macor exhibits inertness to the majority of acids, bases, and solvents.
8. Thermal Performance:
Capable of continuous operation at temperatures up to 800 ° C, with a peak operating temperature of 1000 ° C under no-load conditions. Macor can endure temperatures of up to 1000 °C, rendering it appropriate for applications that necessitate insulation.
9. High-precision:
In high-precision and complex applications, Macor can achieve a machining tolerance of 0.0005 inches (0.013 millimeters).
10. Excellent machinability:
Macor can be machined using standard metal processing tools such as lathes, milling machines, drills, and saws, helping to achieve stringent tolerances with precision levels as low as 0.013 millimeters. This capability contributes to a reduction in both delivery time and production costs for prototypes and customized components.
Applications:
Machinable ceramic parts have a wide range of applications in several high-end industries:
1. Ultra-high vacuum system, vacuum feedthrough and insulator
2. Fixtures, insulators, and precision components in semiconductor equipment
3. Mass spectrometer, ion trap, and low-temperature system
4. Surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment and imaging system components
5. Electric insulators in ion thrusters
6. Electrode holder for plasma generator
7. Structural supports for high-voltage equipment and transformers
8. High voltage components in X-ray tubes
9. Optical components in spectrometers and laser systems
10. High temperature insulation brackets and components in spacecraft and satellites
