Button Heaters

The new Thermic Edge Button Heater range offers a new approach to sample heating. The sample heater is very versatile enabling it to be easily upgraded, so that body or element materials can be easily changed to suit different heating requirements and environments.

The sample heater layout can be easily modified to allow for different sample mounting options. The heater is also very high performance, with high power density (enabling very fast ramp up times), with low mass body (reducing cool down times) and high thermal uniformity over the entire hot zone. The button heater is manufactured using different body and element materials to suit a wide range of applications and temperatures.

FEATURES

These heaters can be supplied flange mounted or fitted to our heater stages.  All heaters are supplied with power leads and internal thermocouples and can be provided with power supplies and controllers providing a complete turnkey solution to your sample heating requirements.
