Title: Assembling Ku flanges: best practices? Post by chriswlan on Apr 5th, 2013 at 11:34pm
Just researched the "contact flanges" which are used on the common Ku LNBs with '75 waveguides:
-how best to clean aluminum oxide? Best done each time flanges are assembled? -how best to protect the assembly? Use a thin film of silicone O-ring grease on the rubber O-ring and the contact surfaces? -or use the Morris-style "Anti-oxidant joint compound"? -or assemble dry and seal outside with some "stretchy rubber", in an effort for aluminum contact surfaces to not start oxidizing outboard of the O-ring? -what if I end up with w 2 cover flanges and zero O-ring groove? -stop being "anal"? :) Chris |
