RIX Industries

RIX manufactures low-vibration, no-maintenance, highly reliable acoustic Stirling (pulse tube) cryocoolers for applications requiring up to 1,000 watts of cooling at 77 K.

Each unit is driven by two of RIX’s renowned linear reciprocating motors with clearance seal pistons, providing wear-free operation with no lubrication required. The dual opposed motor/piston design within the pressure wave generator (PWG) is naturally balanced, reducing vibration and noise. RIX’s designs are completely absent of cold moving parts or seals, eliminating the maintenance required of most other technologies.

When mass loading at the cooled point is of concern, RIX offers a flexibly attached remote (FAR) system, separating the PWG from the coldhead, which further reduces vibration. These advantages are accompanied by competitive pricing in both small and large quantities, making them ideal not only for laboratory use but also for HTS, medical, liquefaction and military applications.
