Description
Heater for Additive Manufacturing. MHI GAXP Spiral Microheater 1400C (OD=2″) MC-AM-2-130 3 layer. In-plane terminals. Diameter D1= 50mm T= 5mm (3X for three layers).
Approximately 700 Watts** [26V @ 27A (RMS)]. Three layers of ceramic base included, each ~5 mm thick.
** Power reported under free radiating/ no-load condition with heater resting on provided ceramic plate. Horizontal use only – do not invert. This heater is used in air, nitrogen, and inert and oxidizing atmospheres. Not for corrosive gas use.
Three ceramic bases are included with the MC-AM-2-130.
Includes 1 set of End Connectors.
Alumina ceramic is rated to 1800C.
For control, ls choose either.
- Feedback controls, namely BPAN-O-PLUS-120T and Transformer. For customers who do not have a 120V wall supply, a 220V to 120V transformer will be added at no extra cost.. or
- Open Controls with no feedback,k i.e., the DC Power Supply and a TC Read
Please choose BPAN-O-PLUS-220 when more than three units of the 2″ Spirals are placed in a series
Only the BPAN-O-PLUS 120T (120V) option should be chosen when a single 2″ unit is used.
Leads to the microheater should carry the rated current, e.g, 10 AWG wire.
Alumina ceramic is rated to 1800C. Universities, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Organic and Polymer Electronics type Laboratories typically use this product,
When checking out, the weight will be calculated using the control panel option.
The correct weight and shipping price will be shown in the final acknowledgment from MHI.
In the diagram, D1 and D2 are separated by 0.1″ T is 0.25″ and H is 2.5″. D1 is the OD=1″.
There is no hole for a TC per se; however, the ceramic iquicklyly bored at a point of your choosing and your T/C bead diameter. Please note that an optical pyrometer is the only correct way to measure temperature for such a configuration. One can calibrate the current with the temperature or power output. A current (amps) vs. pyrometric measured temperature is provided below – when a TC is placed at any position and the current is monitored – one can then calibrate the TC reading (at the t/c placement location) with the actual pyrometric temperature – within reasonable error. The curve below should be used cautiously (only for general guidance) for free radiating conditions. Note that the TC reading you measure very often will show a number well below the actual pyrometric temperature. Calibration is required when using t/C. The unit has been tested at Air.
