Overview
Gradient inserts can be used for experimental conditions where very strong gradient and shim fields are required over smaller sample regions. In this way, the gradient and shim performance can be ideally adjusted to the size of the sample. In the following table the different system gradients inclusive corresponding inserts are listed:
System Gradient | Gradient Insert 1 | Gradient Insert 2 |
|---|---|---|
40 cm magnets: BGA 26 (HP) | BGA 12S HP | BGA 6S HP |
30 cm magnets: BGA 20S HP | BGA 12S HP | BGA 6S HP |
20 cm magnets: BGA 12S HP | BGA 6S HP | none |
16 cm magnets: BGA 9S HP | none | none |
11 cm magnets: BGA 6S-100 | none | none |
The following figure shows the gradient and shim connectors within the component cabinet (CCM).

Pos. No | Description |
|---|---|
1 | Outside wall of the CCM: Quick lock coupling for water cooling of the gradient insert |
2 | Lower left part of the CCM: Connector for shim sets (Hypertac) |
3 | Lower left part of the CCM: Connector for gradient sets (Schaltbau) |
4 | Central Left (or right) part of the CCM: RF shielded outlet channel for the water tubes of the insert |
