Used PFEIFFER / BALZERS TCP 600 #293631766 for sale

PFEIFFER / BALZERS TCP 600 is a high-performance turbo-molecular pump designed for the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) range as well as for the higher pressure ranges, including automotive laboratories. It allows for the maintenance of UHV in a wide variety of systems such as electron microscope and electron probe microanalysis systems, sputter deposition, electron beam lithography, vacuum deposition and electron beam welding. BALZERS TCP 600 features a high-performance turbomolecular pumping assembly that provides optimal UHV performance. This assembly comprises of a rotor/vane assembly, drive motor, rotor shield, and dynamic gas bearing. The rotor/vane assembly comprises of a number of rotor blades, each with its own vane, which rotate within the turbo pump. The drive motor drives the rotor assembly at a high speed (up to 60,000 rpm) creating a vacuum within the pumping chamber as the air is drawn in and turbulently compressed by the rotor blades along the walls of the chamber. The rotor shield protects the rotating blades and vane assembly from possible over or under pressure and also prevents the ingress of foreign material to the turbo pump flange. The dynamic gas bearing that is fitted to the index of the rotor assembly supports the rotor shaft and allows adjustment for alignment and working clearance. PFEIFFER TCP 600 includes a range of features enabling it to perform reliably in many applications. These features include high speed inlet-feed baffle and an adjustable flange mounting to optimize the flow characteristics of the turbo pump, and a compact design allowing for easier installation and maintenance. It incorporates a recirculation system for the molecules that are bypassed by the pumping action to reduce the down-stream pressure and reduce backstreaming. TCP 600 also features a shield gas injection system which aids in the reduction of molecule collisions in order to achieve higher vacuums. Other features such as a cooling system, debris filter, phase angle adjuster, and an adjustable speed controller for the motor are also available. PFEIFFER / BALZERS TCP 600 is designed to perform in a wide range of applications while maintaining excellent UHV performance. The combination of reliable operation and optimal performance has made BALZERS TCP 600 an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including automotive laboratory applications. It is one of the most widely used pumps in the current market.
