nEXT300D
The nEXT300D is a hybrid bearing compound turbo pump available with either an ISO100 or a CF100 inlet flange and has a N2pumping speed of 300ls-1. nEXT pumps combine our proven bearing technology (oil lubricated ceramic lower bearing with dry permanent magnetic upper bearing), an improved rotor design with a new molecular drag stage to deliver improved pumping speed and compression ratios, and true user serviceability. They feature 24V to 48Vd.c. sensor less motors with a built in drive that is fully compatible our range of TAG and TIC controllers. They are available pre-set for 80W or 160W maximum power, the former enabling use with our 100W TIC controllers are also recommended for pumping Argon, but with a longer ramp time to full operating speed.
A basic pump system would require a nEXT300D pump, a TAG or TIC controller, either an air or water cooling accessory or a suitable backing pump.
Features and Benefits
- State-of-the-art rotor design enhances performance to deliver exceptional pumping speeds and compression ratios
- Fully end user serviceable in minimum time without complex tooling or major disassembly...you can do it!
- Compact design with high performance for efficient systemisation
- Compatible with Edwards TIC turbo and instrument controllers meaning you can add up to 3 vacuum gauges without the need of an additional gauge controller
- RoHS compliant and CSA/UL approved
