Overview
The XDS35i pump has the same innovative bearing shield design as the XDS5 and XDS10. This isolates the vacuum environment from all forms of lubricant, not only making it totally dry but hermetically sealed. The shield also protects the bearing from any process vapours.
Gas ballast allows vapour to be handled and opens up the range of applications to many that were previously unsuited to scroll pumps. The inverter drive controls the motor characteristics and ensures the pump always runs at optimum speed.
Technology
Scroll pumps use intermeshing fixed and orbital scrolls to form non-contacting, crescent shaped gas pockets that are continuously compressed by the orbiting action. This means that, unlike oil-sealed rotary pumps, there is no sealant or lubricant required in the swept volume of the pump.
Applications
- Clean pumping applications
- Automotive
- Beam lines and high energy physics
- Centrifuges, ultra high speed
- Coating
