Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | High vacuum (typically <10^-7 mbar) to maintain RF properties and prevent multipacting |
| other spec: | Frequency stability: ±10^-6, Quality factor (Q): 10^4-10^10 depending on material, Accelerating gradient: 10-50 MV/m |
| temperature: | Cryogenic to 300K (typically 2-4K for superconducting, up to 300K for normal conducting) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
For S-band cavities, the operating frequency is typically 2856–2998 MHz, as used in medical and research linear accelerators. Always verify the exact frequency for your specific model.
High-purity copper is standard for normal-conducting cavities, while niobium is used for superconducting versions. Stainless steel may be used for structural components. Material grades should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
The quality factor indicates energy efficiency; higher Q0 values (typically 10000–20000) mean lower power loss. This parameter is critical for continuous operation and should be verified for your application.
Verify operating frequency, accelerating gradient, shunt impedance, cooling requirements (flow rate, pressure, temperature), vacuum pressure, and RF input power. All values must match your accelerator design and be confirmed with the supplier.
