nEXT M Maglev Turbo Pumps
Magnetically levitated Turbomolecular pumps for coating, research and industry
nEXT M pumps are one of the lightest and most compact Maglev turbo pumps available on the market in the 3,000 l/s pumping class, making them an excellent choice for coating applications as well as research and industrial processes.
Providing the clean and stable environments critical for precise operations, the nEXT M Maglev pumps are not only reliable but also maintenance-free for up to 10,000 cycles.
nEXT 2807M and 3207M Maglev turbo pumps
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.
Benefits of the nEXT M turbo pumps:
- Compact and lightweight: the nEXT M are among the smallest and lightest maglev turbo pumps on the market making them the go-to choice when your available space is tight.
- Mountable in any orientation: for complete flexibility you can deploy them from multiple angles on your chamber.
- Ultra-clean operation: because they are completely oil and contaminant-free, as well as operate with minimal levels of vibration, the nEXT M pumps are ideal for applications dealing with sensitive processes where clean vacuum levels are utmost needed.
- Reliable performance: their 5-axis active magnetic bearing and drive system significantly reduce friction levels, resulting in improved reliability and fault-free performance.
- Range of pumping speeds: optimised for a wide range of gases the nEXT M delivers pumping speeds of up to 3,200 l/s.
- Minimal maintenance: due to reduced wear and tear, all models are service-free for up to 80,000 hours.
