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,…
Critical for UHV and XHV experimentation, optics, and sputtering techniques, multiport flanges are an essential tool for processes requiring several components such as viewports, pressure gauges, and sputter sources to be mounted to a single chamber.
We are pleased to announce the addition of 316LN austenitic stainless steel to our ConFlat Flange product line! 316LN SS ConFlat flanges can be utilized from ultra-high vacuum, UHV, through extreme high vacuum, XHV, applications. These flanges are ideal for use in magnetically sensitive UHV/XHV systems when mounting instrumentation, gauges, feedthroughs, and other components.
Traps are designed to impede the movement of something. In vacuum science, vacuum traps are implemented to safeguard vacuum systems against oil or moisture by reducing their presence. In vacuum processes using oil-vane rotary pumps, vapors that can contaminate a system are often a result of the system pump’s oils backstreaming. By placing a vacuum…
The UHV Burst Disk is a vacuum component that provides pressure relief for ultra-high vacuum systems. It is designed for users who require protection from accidental overpressurization of their systems.
An important consideration when choosing the appropriate vacuum gate valve for your system is seal technology. Factors such as size, particle performance, ease of maintenance, service lifetime, and others can be affected depending on the type of seal technology chosen. Currently, ANCORP offers VAT gate valves with two types of seal technology: MONOVAT and VATLOCK. MONOVAT The MONOVAT…
Vacuum traps are devices designed to capture vapors and gases in a vacuum system. Most of the time, choosing between a cold trap and a non-cold trap depends on what pump is being used in your system.
Bellows and flexible metal hoses are ANCORP’s solution for vacuum applications involving prolonged vibrations and misaligned ports. Bellows are great for dampening vibrations, which can protect sensitive instrumentation, limit mechanical fatigue, and prevent loosening of bolt connections.
Are you in the market for a custom vacuum chamber? If so, you likely understand by now that the process for procuring such an item is not as cut-and-dry as buying off-the-shelf vacuum components. Relative to catalog parts, vacuum chambers are often complex, bespoke, and expensive. Though some drivers of complexity and price are unavoidable when it comes to chambers, there are steps you can take when preparing your Request for Quote (RFQ) to reduce quote turnaround, optimize your design for manufacture, and, ultimately, save time and money.
What advantage does a conical reducer offer compared to a similarly flanged straight reducer? The answer is simple: Conductance!
