At ANCORP, we pride ourselves on producing the industry’s leading high vacuum ball valve. Though uniquely different in its stem stabilization and valve lifetime, the ANCORP ball valve is similar to any precision instrument in its need for maintenance. It’s important to understand that even the best valves have wearable internal components that need periodic…
The ball valve is a desirable isolation valve designed to direct the flow of gases and other materials within a vacuum system. They are reliable and have a variety of advantages over other kinds of isolation valves, especially for shutoff applications. Even with these considerations, several process challenges can arise that affect the lifetime of…
For decades, elastomer seals have formed the backbone of high vacuum systems, offering remarkable sealing capabilities and durability. At ANCORP, we specialize in providing the highest quality elastomer seals designed to withstand the demands of high vacuum applications. Elastomer Seals in Vacuum Elastomer seals are an essential component of the vacuum technology world. Their…

ANCORP’s Multiport Ball Valve is the emerging industry standard for multiport valves in semiconductor, coating, and abatement processes. As a new product in ANCORP’s line of high vacuum valves, the multiport valve saves system design engineers and others valuable time and resources with a standard valve that meets multi-flow requirements. With almost every piece of the valve being…
ANCORP’s most recent product expansion of 8 VAT vacuum valves saw the addition of the VAT Series 590 All-Metal Variable Leak Valve. This series offers a variety of novel features that combine to create a valve capable of achieving precise manipulation of very small gas flows and performing beyond ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications and into extreme high vacuum…
As a proud North American distributor of VAT vacuum valves, ANCORP is happy to share we have expanded our offering of VAT valves. ANCORP has added additional VAT series vacuum valves to existing gate and angle valve products while adding new lines such as the butterfly, pendulum, and leak valves. The expansion of VAT…
At the very heart of each vacuum application is the need to create an environment isolated from the atmosphere and pesky environmental contaminants. Satisfying this need often results in the manufacture of custom vacuum chambers with ports to accommodate various environmental, chemical, and electrical needs that can limit internal viewing from the outside of the…
Written in collaboration with Dr. Simon Barke of the Precision Space Systems Laboratory The Precision Space Systems Laboratory (PSSL) at the University of Florida aims to develop instrumentation and measurement techniques for gravitational science and satellite navigation. In collaboration with the NASA Ames Research Center, the PSSL works on multiple missions for laser communication in…
Viewports often called windows or sight glasses, allow observation, illumination, and transmission within a high or ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber. Vacuum viewports come in various flange materials, connections, and window coatings to provide a versatile product for any high vacuum application. ANCORP’s window material selection includes borosilicate glass, fused quartz, sapphire, zinc selenide, magnesium fluoride,…
