Detail:
D-Torch Retaining ring — D-Torch is used to hold components onto a shaft or into a bore. They are used because it’s difficult to attach to shafts or bores with other methods. The retaining rings clamp around the shaft or bore, creating a shoulder that keeps parts in place.
D-Torch retaining rings are used with the following instruments:
- Optima™ 4300 V/5300 V/7300 V
- ELAN 5000/6×00/9000/DRCs
- NexION 300/350 ICP-MS series
The purpose of the retaining ring in this torch assembly is to secure the quartz or ceramic outer tubes to the torch base and inner tube. These rings act as a fastener, holding the components in place and preventing them from moving or dislodging during operation. They are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and proper functioning of the D-Torch, particularly when analyzing challenging samples.
What are the Benefits?
- Securing Components: The retaining ring creates a secure connection between the outer tubes, the base, and the inner tube of the torch.
- Preventing Movement: It prevents the outer tubes from shifting or coming loose, which is crucial for maintaining the plasma within the torch and ensuring accurate analytical results.
- Withstanding Stress: The D-Torch, especially when used with challenging samples, can experience significant thermal and mechanical stress. The retaining ring helps to withstand these stresses and maintain the torch’s structural integrity.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Retaining rings offer a cost-effective way to secure components compared to other methods, like machining shoulders.
- Variety of Applications: While used in D-Torches, these rings are also commonly used in various mechanical assemblies to hold parts onto shafts or within housings, acting as a shoulder to prevent axial movement.
