O2k-OroboPOS-Holder MitoPedia

Description

The OroboPOS-Holder (POS-Holder), made from blue POM, is screwed into the copper block of the O2k-Main Unit, guiding the OroboPOS-Connector with the OroboPOS sensor head (POS) to the O2k-Chamber, and keeping the OroboPOS-Connector in a fixed position for sealing the O2k-Chamber with the OroboPOS-Seal Tip. In addition, the OroboPOS-Holder fixes the O2k-Chamber in an accurate rotational position by pressing against the angular cut of the glass chamber.

Two units of this item are standard components mounted on the O2k-Main Unit.

O2k-OroboPOS-Holder: Leaky chamber due to damaged OroboPOS-Holder

In order not to experience a leakage after chamber reassembly, make sure that all the parts are in good conditions, especially the OroboPOS-Holder
The OroboPOS-Holder may experience some damage due to the not proper alignment with the thread
The OroboPOS-Holder may experience some damage due to the not proper alignment with the chamber
The OroboPOS-Holder may experience some damage due to frequent and bad performed mounting and dismounting procedures

In case your OroboPOS-Holder already presents dents on the surfaces ( see pictures below) you may experience leakage, sanding the edge of the OroboPOS-Holder with sand paper may solve the issue.

Left picture: brand new OroboPOS-Holder, no damage on the thred, no damage on the edge
Center picture: used OroboPOS-Holder, almost no damage on the thred, the edge is slightly damaged
Right picture: heavly used OroboPOS-Holder, the thred is slightly damaged, serious damage on the edge of the aperture
