Faraday Cage 43 dB reduction

Standard stand-alone Cage

HEKA provides the finest instruments today to achieve the needed progress of tomorrow…

1 Faraday Cage 43 dB noise reduction

Introduction In many applications, the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved only with the use of a Faraday cage. A Faraday cage shields by suppressing the magnetic and electric parts of the electromagnetic waves due to high surface conductance and high permeability. Both stand-alone cages for use with an anti-vibration table and a bench-top model are available.

Besides the model listed below customer specific Faraday Cages can be produced on request.

Standard stand-alone Faraday Cage with Front Door Option. Features Stand-alone Standard Faraday Cage

Material The Faraday cages are made of steel without the use of stainless steel or aluminum. The walls are of rug- ged construction and consist of coated punched sheet metal.

Grounding Bar All instruments can be grounded at one central grounding bar. A set of cables for grounding the devices inside the cage are provided with the faraday cage. The upper and lower part of the cage are electrically connected.

Shielding The noise is reduced by 43 dB (bandwidth 3 kHz).

Design The stand-alone versions are of open-front design, but a front door option can be provided on request.

Color All Faraday Cages are painted in HEKA blue (HSK 40)

2 Models Standard Faraday Cage The stand-alone Faraday cage consists of two parts: the stand (lower part) and the cage (upper part), which are mounted together in the laboratory. The height of the lower part is 80 cm (31.5 inch). A desk table, made of wood (standard) or steel, can be placed between the lower and upper parts. The shape of the table depends on your requirements. In accordance with the set-up and dimensions, a vibration-isolated table can be placed beneath the table without any contact with the cage. The Standard Faraday Cage comes without front doors.

Outer dimensions (H x W x D): (186 x 110 x 83) cm, (73.2 x 43.3 x 32.7) inch

Inner dimensions (H x W x D): (96 x 104 x 77) cm, (37.8 x 40.9 x 30.3) inch

max. high for the vibration isolated table: 80 cm or 31.5 inch ( up to 83 cm or 32.7 inch for table with maximal dimensions of (90 x 75) cm, (W x D))

Front Door Option Upgrade of the Faraday Cage with standard dimensions with two front doors.

Demountable Faraday Cage The side walls of this faraday cage are demountable for simplification of transportation. A desk table made from wood with cut out for a microscope and a grounding bar are also included.

Outer dimensions (H x W x D): (188,5 x 100 x 100) cm, (74.2 x 39.4 x 39.4) inches

Demountable Large Faraday Cage Same type of Faraday cage as above but in larger dimensions.

Outer dimensions (H x W x D): (181 x 130 x 100) cm, (71.3 x 51.2 x 39.4) inches

Table-Top Faraday Cage The faraday cage has one front door which can be placed to the left or right side optionally. Cable ducts are provided from all sides. A contact strip for connectors is built-in. The cage has a massive base plate made of steel.

Outer dimensions (H x W x D): (86 x 56 x 59) cm, (33.9 x 22.0 x 23.2) inches
