Edwards Vacuum has developed a new series of magnetically levitated turbomolecular pumps that can withstand the demands of both challenging industrial environments and research processes. The oil-free nEXT2807M and nEXT3207M Maglev pumps are specially designed for areas where a contamination-free vacuum is required for high process quality. The virtually maintenance-free models (up to 80,000 hours) are among the lightest and most space-saving turbopumps in their class.
The pumps are designed to achieve consistently good results even in the most adverse environments and harsh industrial processes. Their robustness makes them best suited for a wide range of applications for the use in the R&D and industrial markets, including various coating applications, vacuum ovens, thermal vacuum chambers for space applications and high energy physics applications.
The nEXT M pumps are the ideal solution for industrial and R&D processes that require minimal vibrations and no hydrocarbons.
As the process reliability directly impacts overall productivity and profitability, maintaining a consistent level of performance is essential. The design and functional features of the new Edwards series contribute to this in equal measure: with a bespoke rotor design, the nEXT M series have an excellent pumping speed – up to 3,200 l/s for the larger nEXT3207M.
The smaller nEXT2807M version has a pumping speed of up to 2,500 l/s (nitrogen). A reduced weight of the rotors decreases power consumption, especially in the start-stop phases.
The bottom line is that this innovative turbomolecular pump technology ensures that sensitive processes in particular are not negatively affected by external interference.
Key advantages of the nEXT M turbopumps at a glance
- Compact, small and lightweight: First choice when installation space is limited
- Can be mounted in any orientation
- Ultra-clean operation because the nEXT M series ensures a hydrocarbon-free process with minimal vibrations.
- Low wear and maintenance-free for up to 80000 hours (10000 cycles) of operation.
