500 Series INDUCTUNER

FOR USE IN VERY HIGH FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS, MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL

The Mallory 500 Series INDUCTUNER is a high Q variable inductor with 0.699 microhenries inductance change for six turns of the tuning shaft. The minimum inductance is 0.028 microhenries. Frequency ratios of 4 to 1 are easy to obtain with practical values of high frequency trimming inductance. The 500 Series Inductuner may be used up to frequencies of 300 mcs. Most of the characteristics necessary for application of this Inductuner are shown in the electrical data: DL versus rotation, distributed capacity versus rotation, Q factor versus rotation, and a family of frequency versus rotation curves.


The unit is available in one through seven ganged sections. The Inductuner frame is constructed of .040 inch, silver plated (MALLOSIL®) brass. The tuning shaft is stainless steel, 1/4 inch in diameter and extends 1 ½ inches from frame of tuner. Shorter shaft lengths are available in 1/8 inch increments. The shaft is supported by two miniature precision ball bearings or self lubricated porous bronze bearings. Stops are provided to allow approximately 6 turns of rotation. Stops to provide less than 6 turns can be supplied. Special designs have been utilized to provide maximum shielding between sections and minimum radiation from the sections to the surrounding area.


 


MEETS MIL REQUIREMENTS
