    Brief

    This £2 million contract involves the design, development, and supply of advanced magnetic bearing drive systems for the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source facility. The magnetic bearing systems will be integrated into neutron disc choppers, which are critical components used to manipulate and control neutron beams in scientific research. Suppliers should be experienced in precision engineering, magnetic bearing technology, and systems suitable for high-speed rotating equipment in demanding scientific environments. The project requires technical expertise in magnetic suspension systems, mechanical engineering, and integration with existing accelerator infrastructure.
