Used NRC / VARIAN 3317 #70876 for sale

NRC / VARIAN 3317 is a turbo molecular pump used for creating a high vacuum. This pump is a mechanical device consisting of an electric motor, turbomolecular rotor, and stators, which produce a constant flow of gas molecules between the atmospheric pressure and the vacuum. The pump operates at a pressure range of up to 10-2 mbar. Its maximum speed is 14500 rpm, and its suction is 200 l/s. NRC 3317 has a measured cooling power of 8.2 W which is well suited for maintain a stable temperature range while hosting a cleanroom environment. As such, it is often used in applications with very low particle concentrations such as semiconductor fabrication. Additionally, the pump features a direct drive design which eliminates added friction and improves the performance. The motor has a low noise level, generating only 58dB at a distance of 1 meter. VARIAN 3317 is made of a corrosion resistant aluminum material which makes it highly durable and reliable. All components are designed for easy maintenance and parts replacement, with the ability to be interchanged between compatible gearboxes. The pump operates with a reliability of >93%, resulting in a minimum breakdown time of less than 10 minutes per year. It has a bearing chamber designed for clean, proven lubrication systems and is also equipped with a gear shaft brushless design. This provides a low level of wear and tear and improves the life expectancy of the pump. The turbo pump has an overall compact design and is ideal for bench-top vacuum applications. Optical alignment, temperature monitoring, and built-in overload protection add to the overall quality and performance of the pump. Overall, 3317 is a perfect choice for applications that require clean, repeatable vacuum generation and thermal stability in low particle count environments. Its durability and maintenance-friendly design makes it a reliable choice for any application.
