Our glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal hermetic seals offer a new level of electrical conductivity, preventing short circuits and ensuring stable electrical performance in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) and other challenging applications.
One of the most critical yet often overlooked components in any system where probes, sensors, electrodes, wires and other types of static elements need to pass through a pressure or environmental boundary, are feedthroughs. These need to provide a seal often under the most extreme environmental conditions. LouwersHanique’s unique joining technology and the application of preferred materials and material combinations ensure that functionality is guaranteed across a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic to high temperatures. Contact our engineering team for further specifications.

These unique joining technology offers superior hermetic sealing and long lasting capabilities, which ensures long-term performance, reliability, airtight, vacuum-tight, and pressure-resistant barriers to prevent any leakage or contamination. Moreover, compared to metals, our glass and ceramic hermetic sealings are better suited for harsh environments, due to their high resistance to corrosion and extreme temperatures.

Thanks to years of experience, our engineers have accrued boundless know-how regarding the optimization of matching materials. Direct bonding of glass with various types of metal delivers unprecedented integration and unique high-performance functionality.
This process ensures a perfect seal that meets the strictest requirements for Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) and Ultra Clean Vacuum (UCV) systems, providing reliable hermetic sealing and electrical insulation.
At LouwersHanique, we work hand-in-hand with our customers, from conceptualization to co-development, to deliver custom modular feedthroughs that align perfectly with their application requirements. Engineered for superior purity, low outgassing, and reliable performance, our feedthroughs are the perfect fit for vacuum and other intense operational environments.
Customers have the flexibility to customize every detail, including connector types, signals, pockets, fixation, bolts, and O-rings, while also choosing from standard sizes. Moreover, we also offer monolithic feedthrough solutions, including stainless steel flanges with an integrated bonded pin layout which are suited for a wide range of connectors (LEMO, Harting, Sub-D, etc.).
