Benefits

Ion pumps create high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments in a variety of applications, ranging from portable mass spectrometers to large scale particle accelerators. Ion pumps can create the lowest possible vacuum at an economical cost.

Mechanical Vibration Eliminated

Capture pumps have no moving parts.

Vibration from moving parts and electrical noise is eliminated.

High Radiation Tolerance

Capture pumps are built with radiation tolerant materials in excess of 108 Gray.

Connectors and cables are also built with radiation tolerant materials for years of continuous operation.

High Temperature Tolerance

Without any special consideration, capture pumps can be baked to 250 °C.

Removing the magnets allows for hotter bakes up to 450 °C. Long hot bakes are critical to every UHV system

Regular Maintenance Eliminated

Capture pumps require virtually no maintenance and thus save time, money and resources.

Low Initial and Operational Cost

Initial cost is typically less than comparable specifications of other types of vacuum pumps.

They use minimal or no power for years of low cost operation.
