  Tuner systems for accelerating cavities are required to compensate static and dynamic frequency perturbations during beam operation. In the case of superconducting cavities, these are commonly tuned by deforming the cavity wall in specific places of the geometry. Nevertheless, considering the mechanical properties and frequency versus displacement sensitivity of some structures, tuning by deformation doesn’t allow to meet the requirements. In these specific cases, inspired from the “room temperature technology”, an alternative tuning technique by insertion of a helium-cooled superconducting plunger can be considered and has been studied for several projects (IFMIF, ESS-BILBAO). Advantages and drawbacks of such solution will be discussed and the successful results on SPIRAL2 cryomodule developed at IPNO will be presented.
