ML-2 Medical Linac Magnetron

The ML-2 is a medical linac magnetron. S-band pulse magnetron at 2.856 GHz with 2 MW peak power, specified as a replacement for Varian medical linear accelerator systems.

Key ratings of the ML-2 include frequency 2.856 GHz, frequency band S-band, type Pulsed, peak power 2.0 MW, average power 2.0 kW and pulse width 4.0 µs.

Typical applications are varian Clinac medical linacs, radiation therapy systems, cancer treatment equipment and linac maintenance and replacement. Notable features: specified as replacement type for Varian linac systems, 2 MW S-band peak power, medical linac application and full technical support available.

Medical magnetrons are the RF power source of compact radiotherapy linear accelerators (linacs). They operate in pulsed mode in the S-band or X-band and are fed by a thyratron-switched pulse modulator. Tube life is measured in operating hours, so hospitals and service organisations keep qualified spares to minimise treatment downtime.

PartnerTubes supplies the ML-2 worldwide from Groningen, the Netherlands — availability, lead time and price are confirmed per enquiry. Our team can help with equivalent and cross-reference types, sockets and accessories, and supply programmes for OEM and maintenance customers. Interchangeability must always be confirmed for the specific equipment.
