Leybold recently completed its Turbovac i/iX series - 90, 250, 350 and 450 - with the 850 i/iX and 950 i/iX sizes. In addition to expanding the product family in terms of pumping speed, the two new turbomolecular pumps are characterized by long, trouble-free operating times and lower operating costs. They are used in many industrial and research and development applications where a clean and stable high and ultra-high vacuum is required, such as in coating, heat treatment, analytics, thin film research or helium recovery.
The pumps can be mounted in any orientation, have flexible, integrated drive electronics and can be controlled and monitored. Control maintenance is also unnecessary. On the high vacuum side, the rotor of the turbomolecular pump is guided in a wear-free magnetic bearing, while a lifetime-lubricated ceramic ball bearing is installed on the fore-vacuum side, which users can replace themselves on site if necessary.
