What it is

The Pfeiffer Turbomolecular Vacuum system is a turbomolecular pumping assembly for generating high vacuum in process equipment.[1]

The represented system combines a Pfeiffer TMU 071 P turbo pump, a Pfeiffer TC 600 turbo controller, a Pfeiffer PM Z01 253 cooling module, and a Balzers PCU 0200 power supply base.[1]

How it works

The SplitFlow class uses a hybrid bearing system that combines a ball bearing and a permanent magnetic bearing, and the magnetic bearing stabilizes and balances the rotors without physical contact.[2][3]

The SplitFlow class uses multiple stages separated by rotor stacks, and each stage raises the attainable vacuum level so the pump can achieve progressively higher vacuum without requiring multiple turbopumps.[2][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The SplitFlow class is used in high-vacuum systems with limited space and supports analytical systems such as mass spectrometers and leak detection equipment.[2][3]

Applications

The SplitFlow class is used for analytical applications such as mass spectrometry and leak detection.[2][3]
