According to Bruker, USR magnets utilize the latest pulse tube

at the same time minimize the transfer of unwanted vibration
to the magnet system. This is essential in order to achieve
optimum artefact-free performance without the vibration related
problems associated with other active refrigeration methods.
This is possible because pulse tube coolers are far superior to
