Used ALCATEL / ADIXEN / PFEIFFER 5401 #179432 for sale

ALCATEL / ADIXEN / PFEIFFER 5401 is a field-proven, high-quality turbomolecular vacuum pump that is used extensively in industry and research laboratories. This pump is designed to achieve very high ultimate empty speeds and to achieve speeds up to 5000-6000 l/s in the optimum speed range. It is extremely reliable and robust, with a long service life and excellent corrosion resistance. The pump has extremely fast response times and utilizes a special air bearing system to reduce start up time. ADIXEN 5401 has a corona-ion source which is effective in generating low background gas pressures in the order of 10-10 mbar. This feature eliminates the need for difficult adjustment in the running of the pump, resulting in much more reliable operation and an increased long-term service life. The use of an integrated motor and fan assembly also reduces the complexity of the design, making installation simpler and reducing the pump's overall size. ALCATEL 5401 is designed to operate with minimal vibration, making it suitable as well for ultra-high vacuum use in scientific and research laboratories. This pump uses a radial-flow blower design which helps to minimize turbulence, efficiently reaching and maintaining high vacuums. 5401 features mechanical protections which prevent the pump from running to dry and incorporate a thermal switch which is disconnected when the pump is used in conjunction with a variable speed drive. PFEIFFER 5401 is an incredibly reliable, efficient and robust vacuum pump which is well-suited for a wide range of industrial and research applications. Despite its compact size and intricate design, this pump offers excellent performance and is suited for a wide range of pressures. Its corrosion resistance and long-term service life make it particularly valuable for very demanding low-vacuum applications.
