The AIM SF100 is a Stirling cryocooler based on Moving Magnet Technology and Flexure Bearing suspension on both ends of the driving mechanism. A computerized alignment process combined with an optimized material composition inside the helium vessel results in lifetimes exceeding 30,000h.

The cooler is designed for high performance IR-detectors and high temperature superconductor applications. The SF100 is compact, lightweight and provides a cooling capacity of 2W at 23°C ambient temperature. The resulting performance margin allows detector temperatures down to 60K.

The SF100 can be operated with AIM‘s digital cooler electronics (μDCE050, DCE100) or alternatively with customers‘ electronics.
