Edwards Vacuum has developed a new range of magnetically levitated turbomolecular pumps that can withstand the demands of both challenging industrial environments and research processes. The oil-free nEXT2807M and nEXT3207M magnetic levitation pumps are specifically designed for areas where a contamination-free vacuum is required for high process quality. The virtually maintenance-free models are lightweight and space-saving.
High vacuum pumps for harsh industrial processes
The pumps are designed to achieve consistently good results even in the most adverse environments and harsh industrial processes. Thanks to their robustness, they are suitable for various coating applications, such as in vacuum furnaces, thermal vacuum chambers for space applications and high-energy physics applications.
Hydrocarbon-free and robust
Product Manager Jinane Haddad counts low vibrations, the absence of hydrocarbons, durability and versatility as well as efficient water cooling among the strengths of the pumps. "Overall, this leads to an extension of the operating and maintenance intervals and ultimately to a higher pumping capacity of the nEXT M series," says Haddad.
Consistent performance for consistent quality
With a customized rotor design, the nEXT M series has a high pumping speed - up to 3,200 l/s for the larger nEXT3207M. The smaller nEXT2807M version has a pumping speed of up to 2,500 l/s (nitrogen). The reduced weight of the rotors lowers power consumption, especially in the start-stop phases.
