Custom Products
Allectra custom aluminium rectangular plate

This plate with 3 x Stainless Steel rectangular flanges with 24 x Sub-D 15 way and 16 x Sub-D 9 way feedthroughs was manufactured for a synchrotron customer.


Allectra Multi-Feedthrough flange

This component features 12 x D09, 2 x D15, 1 x D25, 2 x BNCD and 3 x SMAD50 Feedthroughs on a DN160CF flange and was manufactured for a synchrotron customer.
ISO250 flange

ISO250 flange with 17 x HD78 way feedthroughs.


Allectra custom flange

Custom flange with 8 x Double-sided SMA 18GHz feedthroughs.
Vacuum Plate to house 156 Allectra Sub-D Feedthroughs

Allectra designed and manufactured this plate for ADS-Engineering, the engineering partner of DECTRIS for their in-vacuum X-ray detector for Diamond Light Source, UK.
With more than 12 million pixels on an active area of 0.34m², the PILATUS 12M detector covers a 2Θ range of ±100° and will operate in vacuum at 10-6 mbar. This specific solution, built by DECTRIS in close collaboration with the 123 team at Diamond Light Source, represents a breakthrough in long-wavelength macromolecular crystallography.
This customized single-photon-counting X-ray detector features operation in vacuum, a specific module geometry and a special calibration for low-energy X-ray energies.
Based on the size of the plate and to reduce weight and cost, Allectra recommended the use of separate aluminium plates instead of the proposed one for the main door. This reduces the risk for the customer as the plates can be repaired individually in case of any problems.
Allectra manufactured and tested the plates and assembled them to the aluminium door which was leak-checked and assembled to the back plate.


Custom Port Aligner Assembly

Allectra has designed a custom port aligner for Edinburgh University. Our customer needed to correct a sample loading misalignment and was looking for a port aligner for his load lock system. Due to the shape and dimensions in the requirement, there was no off-the-shelf component available and so Allectra designed and manufactured a custom DN40CF port aligner assembly that fits the customer system, with custom lugs and threaded rods.
