Magnetically levitated turbo pumps, also known as Mag or Maglev pumps, are based on the highly successful mechanical turbomolecular vacuum technology.
The principal difference between mechanical and magnetically levitated turbomolecular pumps is that the ‘rotor’ and ‘stator’ blades are held in position by precision made magnets rather than oil-lubricated bearing systems.
This means they produce minimal levels of friction and vibration, and cleaner, contamination-free vacuum performance making them ideal for processes such as coating.
The electromagnetic bearings also make them suitable for harsh industrial environments as they are able to withstand mechanical-shocks as well as exposure to dust and moisture.
But what makes the nEXT M range really stand out is their versatility.
nEXT M Pumps are ideally suited for sensitive processes, as well as in challenging industrial environments:
covering thousands of products from glass lenses, surgical instruments and solar panels to aerospace components and telescopic lenses used in astronomy
from simulated space environments to particle accelerators and fusion research
Furnace welding applications and precision-made machine parts
Hydrocarbon-free performance, resilience, reliability and low levels of vibration.
Up to 80,000 hours, or 10,000 start/stop cycles of maintenance-free performance.
Coating applications require stable environments with minimal levels of vibration.
Efficient cooling of the pump is achieved through a water-cooling process via the inlet/outlet ports on the pump.
The nEXT 2807M has a pumping speed of up to 2,500 l/s and the nEXT 3207M has a pumping speed of up to 3,200 l/s.
