Used PFEIFFER / BALZERS TMH 260 #9277082 for sale

PFEIFFER / BALZERS TMH 260 is a turbo molecular high vacuum pump that is capable of reaching pressures down to 10^-3 mbar. It is a reliable and compact pump, with a very low field of emission and low noise level. BALZERS TMH 260 consists of a cylindrical steel chamber-like structure, which houses a rotor, stator and thrust bearing. The rotor is mounted on two parallel but axially offset axes, with the shaft of the rotor connected to a motor drive. The stator is concentric with the rotor and is operated by a set of electromagnetic coils. The thrust bearing holds the rotor in place and prevents it from spinning, eliminating the need for additional mechanical or alloy bearings. The motor drives the rotor and stator simultaneously at a high speed, creating a centrifugal force which creates a low pressure environment in the chamber. The low pressure of the chamber generates an ionized gas stream that is directed into the exhaust manifold, which excludes all foreign particles before releasing the gas into the atmosphere. This results in a pump that is extremely efficient in low pressure pumping, offering a maximum pumping speed of 5.3 m3/hr. PFEIFFER TMH 260 is equipped with a damping valve that serves to weaken the high accuracy turbulence of the pumped down gas, and it also has plumbed connections for an ultra-high vacuum gauge. The pressure of TMH 260 is able to be controlled precisely due to the rapid control of its pumping power, that can accurately be regulated by the motor speed. PFEIFFER / BALZERS TMH 260 is exceptionally reliable, with several safety features that protect its components from temperature increase, overtaxing and overpressure. In conclusion, BALZERS TMH 260 is an advanced and dependable turbo molecular high vacuum pump designed for those applications requiring a reliable and accurate pumping solution. Benefiting from its low electrical consumption, rapid response speed and low emission levels, it is suitable for use in a large variety of vacuum applications.
