Vacuum Equipment for Ultra High Vacuum Applications Brochure
Capture pumping technologies create high vacuum (HV) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments for a variety of applications, ranging from portable mass spectrometers to large scale particle accelerators. They can create the lowest possible vacuum at an economical cost.
Also known as sputter ion pumps or ion getter pumps.
Those are capture pumps that ionize gases using an anode/cathode array.
Ions sputter reactive cathode materials, creating a chemical reaction that turns the ionized gases into solid compounds. Those compounds no longer contribute to the pressure of the vacuum system and are permanently captured within the ion pump.
Ion pumps can operate from 10-5 to 10-12 mbar and range in size from 0.2 to 1,200 l/s of nitrogen.
Titan ion pump
Titanium sublimation ion pump
Operate by heating a titanium filament and subliming (converting from solid to gas phase) titanium molecules onto a surface.
Sublimed titanium molecules are then available to chemically react with reactive gases, like oxygen and nitrogen, and disassociate and diffuse hydrogen.
TSP’s can operate from 10-5 to 10-12 mbar and have pumping speeds in excess of 10,000 l/s of hydrogen.
Are reactive metals that have been pressed onto solid substrates or sintered into discs.
A specific combination of Zirconium, Vanadium and Iron has been found to work best for HV and UHV environments. The amount of material used controls the speed and capacity of the NEG pump, but typically range from 55 to 412 l/s and capacity from 630 to 3600 Torr l/s.
As NEG’s become saturated with gases, they can be reactivated without venting to atmosphere.

Capture pumps have no moving parts. Vibration from moving parts and electrical noise is eliminated
Capture pumps are built with radiation tolerant materials in excess of 108 Gray. Connectors and cables are also built with radiation tolerant materials for years of continuous operation
Without any special consideration, capture pumps can be baked to 250 °C. Removing the magnets allows for hotter bakes up to 450 °C. Long hot bakes are critical to every UHV system
Capture pumps require virtually no maintenance and avoid costly vacuum events because they are sealed from atmosphere, saving time, money and resources
Initial cost is typically less than comparable specifications of other types of vacuum pumps. They use minimal or no power for years of low cost operation
