15 mm RCE Shaft Product Information - Data Sheet

The E9 Series rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) is commonly used to evaluate mass transport limited corrosion. It is capable of rapidly moving a metal sample with respect to a fluid. Due to the nature of the corrosive environment in which the RCE system components are exposed, it is designed for use with the gas-purged bearing assembly (part number AC01TPA6M; see below). The bearing assembly is made from polyether ether ketone (PEEK), a polymer that is resistant to most solvents except concentrated sulfuric or nitric acid solutions. The bearing assembly is precision made to fit the 15 ???????????????? RCE shaft body and tapered to fit into a standard 24/25 port on an electrochemical cell. The 15 ???????????????? RCE shaft connects to the MSR motor head (part number AFMSRCE) on the 1/4" stainless steel end. At the other end of the shaft, there is a special RCE tip (see figure below). The tip is composed of four items: a cylinder insert, two washers, and a RCE PEEK Nut with a contact ball plunger built into the shaft
