MSK-T-10 Precision Disc Cutter with Standard 16, 19, 20 mm Dies and Optional 3-24 mm Dies for Battery Electrode and Separator Discs
The MSK-T-10 is engineered to meet the precise demands of battery researchers requiring uniform round discs from thin electrode materials and separator films typically less than 30 micrometers thick. Its compact design allows installation inside glove boxes with transition chambers larger than 230 mm in diameter, facilitating sample preparation in controlled atmospheres. This manual disc cutter is particularly suited for preparing electrode and separator discs used in split test cells, coin cells, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample analysis.
The cutter operates via a quality sliding rail system with ball bearings to ensure smooth and precise cutting strokes up to 17 mm. The standard package includes precision cutting dies of 16, 19, and 20 mm diameters made from carbon steel, which require careful handling to avoid moisture exposure. Optional custom dies ranging from 3 to 24 mm diameter can be ordered with a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks, allowing flexibility for various battery cell formats including CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, and CR2450 coin cells.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Manual operation with precision sliding rail and ball bearing mechanism for smooth cutting action.
- Standard cutting dies included: 16 mm, 19 mm, and 20 mm diameters for common coin cell electrode and separator discs.
- Optional custom cutting dies available from 3 mm to 24 mm diameter for specialized applications.
- Compact footprint suitable for glove box integration with transition chamber diameter >230 mm.
- Maximum stroke length of 17 mm enables clean, accurate disc cutting.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
The MSK-T-10 is widely used in battery research laboratories for preparing precise electrode and separator discs for coin cells such as CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, and CR2450 formats. It also supports sample preparation for split test cells and TEM analysis, where uniform disc size and clean edges are critical to test accuracy and reproducibility.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
Users must carefully install and align cutting dies and pushing rods according to part numbers to avoid misalignment, which can damage the dies. The precision tolerance of the dies is very tight; improper installation may cause damage not covered by manufacturer responsibility. It is recommended to purchase multiple cutters pre-installed with different die sizes to minimize die change risks. Always keep carbon steel dies dry and clean to prevent corrosion. Refer to the operation manual and instructional videos before use.
