PGS Thermal Link

Vendor profile

Overview

Designed to transfer heat between two surfaces while allowing for relative motion or displacement between them. Due to mechanical constraints, flexible thermal links (FTL), are crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures in systems where connection flexibility is a critical feature. They help prevent overheating of components by dissipating heat effectively while allowing for the movement that occurs during operation.
Lidax FTLs have been part of the thermal control management of the ESA Missions, Bepi Colombo, EarthCare, Plato and more.
The pyrolytic graphite FTL is used in several New Space projects, because of its high conductance/weight ratio.

Summary: LIDAX is a technology company founded in 2000. LIDAX develops high advanced Optical & Opto-electronics units used as part of Space or On-ground instrumentation and Scientific Research, from design through to the delivery of integrated and tested equipment. Additionally, the Cryogenics Business Unit, can design and manufacture cryogenic/vacuum systems and components from brand new to modifications/upgrade of existing. Our Optical Units are essential in Optical and IR Instruments which operates from IR, VIS up to UV wavelength and may include precise passive/active thermal control elements and, if necessary, high accuracy positioning mechanisms. LIDAX’s infrastructure and internal processes are implemented to carry out a serial production of space products (industrialization). LIDAX’s space product family includes: Focal Planes Assembly and Optical Units for Spectrometers / Cameras, Telescope Optics & Mounts, Cryogenic Folding Mirrors, Optical Head / Lens Objective In a fully integrated and equipped centre of 1.800m2, LIDAX concentrates the development office for design and engineering activities, the assembly, integration / clean room areas (ISO5 & ISO 7), the thermal testing laboratory (e.g., Bake-Out Chamber, Cryostat) & metrology equipment (e.g. CMM, Interferometer / Autocollimator).
