Used CTI-CRYOGENICS IS-8F (On-Board) #293628978 for sale

CTI-CRYOGENICS IS-8F (On-Board) is a cryogenic vacuum pump that is designed for installation onboard a spacecraft. It has a high performance, space-qualified motor and a low profile design for installations that require limited space. The IS-8F has a high mass-to-power ratio, allowing for its operation with moderate input power from sources such as batteries and solar panels. This pump's primary function is to evacuate condensable and non-condensable gases from the spacecraft's vacuum chamber or thruster coolant system. It is able to work with a wide range of coolants and gases including liquid Helium and other cryogenic liquids. The IS-8F has a rapid start up time and is able to pump both condensable and non-condensable gases. It has variable speed control with both solid and liquid state drives and can achieve fast start up and steady operation with minimal vibration. An integrated feedback mechanism can compensate for external factors that might cause the system to fail due to environmental fluctuations such as temperature and vibration. The washable inlet filter ensures that the pump does not become blocked with dust and debris and the ceramic bearing design ensures long life and low noise operation. The IS-8F has a robust design and is able to operate in a wide variety of hostile environments, including vibration, shock, and temperatures from -320 degrees Fahrenheit to +500 degrees Fahrenheit. Its robust design allows it to withstand the stress of spacecraft operations, including after pumping, more than 50K g-forces. The pump dimensions are optimized for limited space and the total weight is less than 7 lbs. The IS-8F is a safe and reliable way to pump out both condensable and non-condensable gases from a spacecraft, allowing the system to remain in optimal working condition while reducing mission risk to the spacecraft. Its easy integration, high performance, and reliable operation make IS-8F (On-Board) the preferred vacuum pump for spacecraft applications.
