## Thermal Straps for Cryocoolers

TAI is the only thermal strap manufacturer that offers a standard Cryocooler Series (CS™) Copper Thermal Strap (CuTS®) product line. Cryocooler Series (CS™) CuTS®  are based on common cold tip diameters from the industry's most popular **[SHI](https://www.shicryogenics.com/products/cryocoolers/) **and [Cryomech](https://bluefors.com/products/pulse-tube-cryocoolers/) cryocoolers, and from our customers' most frequent end fitting / terminal block styling requests.  As with all standard model straps, cabling/rope length and bolt pattern customization is free of charge (as are our front-end design and assessment services). For minor changes to end fitting dimensions,![Cryocooler Interface Isolator Thermal Strap - CS-45AL Custom](https://www.techapps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ImagesResized/JPL%20Runyan%201-1-1.jpg?width=234&height=797&name=JPL%20Runyan%201-1-1.jpg "Cryocooler Interface Isolator Thermal Strap - CS-45AL Custom") please contact us to discuss.Please note that that TAI can customize any of the 72 CS™ Model CuTS® for a small additional fee, and we routinely provide fully custom cryocooler / cold head / dilution refrigerator thermal straps with any cold head diameter and end fitting configuration.
