ATHERMALIZATON BELLOWS ASSEMBLIES

A new and unique “atherm” temperature sensitive bellows assembly has recently been manufactured and supplied by Abssac limited as part of their controlled electroform component program .  

Utilizing the full capabilities of the  SUB-ASSEMBLY SERVICES the part supplied by Abssac  reduced component costs, lead-times, and sustain quality. Specializing in soldering, induction brazing, electron-beam welding and adhesive bonding. Evacuated assembly, hermetic sealing and back-fill operations routinely produce precision temperature and pressure sensitive devices.

Our sub assembly capabilities, combined with necessary leading-edge technologies, These lightweight, extremely sensitive assemblies are thin-walled, electrodeposited nickel bellows soldered to custom end pieces filled with a working fluid (with a known coefficient of thermal expansion) and then sealed. By sealing a specific volume of fluid within a electrodeposited nickel bellows, the volumetric thermal expansion characteristic of the fluid is transformed into a precise, measurable linear movement. This movement can be used as an actuator, or calibrated to be read as control data, and is completely reversible due to the extremely low hysteresis of the bellows material.

The atherm is presently being used in one defense application to compensate for the thermal growth of components within precision targeting devices. The response of the bellows ensures that the targeting image is not distorted by environmental changes in temperature from sub-zero to extreme desert heat conditions.

These athermalization bellows assemblies are designed, manufactured and assembled to the customers exacting specifications.
