Abstract:This paper introduces a method to adjust the gap distance of nanosecond gas switch from outside when it is filled with high pressure gas. By using a two-stage planetary gear train and a pinion-and-rack device the gap between the electrodes can be linearly adjusted. The adjusting precision is 0.05 mm and adjustment range is 0 to 10 mm. The sealing of the insulator ring, rotation axle and outside conductors is designed. The performance of the rotation axle is pretty well under 12MPa gas pressure, air leakage not… Show more
