Not only can we install any off-the-shelf vacuum feedthrough available onto a vacuum chamber, we can also make our own custom vacuum feedthroughs and specifically install them in a way that will work best for you. An aerospace client looking to test various custom cables inside a fully transparent vacuum chamber reached out to us to see if this is something that we can do.

Of course, this something that we can do, working with high tech vacuum instruments and vacuum equipment is what we do day in and day out. We have been in business since 2008 and this is all we have done during this time. We have worked with all branches of the us government, all fortune 500 companies, all Russel 2000 companies. The other day we estimated that we have our hand in 80% of all products you come across on your daily basis. When you operate your appliances in the morning, we have worked on that. When you get into your car to drive to the store, we have worked with all major car companies. When you pick out any food item at the store, we have worked with almost all food and beverage packager. When you stop to fill up you car on your way home, we have worked with every energy company you can imagine. So why would you think a custom cable feedthrough installed onto a vacuum chamber would be something that would trouble us? It won’t.

What we came up with is a full transparent vacuum chamber with dimensions of 24 inch Wide, 18 inch Deep, and 18 inch High. We then custom precision machined a vacuum plate to connect to a set of Custom Compact Plastic Submersible Cord Grips. We did this by designing an O-ring groove and included an specifically fit O-ring to prevent air leakage. We then installed the Cord Grip which are designed to fit in small or tight areas. Rated at IP68 and 69K which enables protection from high pressure and continuous submersion in water. Furthermore, these cord grips are rated NEMA 4X, 6, and 12 for corrosion protection, water jets, oils and lubricants. When the cable is fed through, a rubber bushing will create an air tight seal between the cable and Cord Grip when the outer nut is tightened. This will enable our customer to test the cable in full vacuum without leakage and compromising of vacuum performance. The chamber also comes with two (2) x 1/4 inch NPT Brass Valves and a dial vacuum gauge which indicates the vacuum level via a dial on a dual scale in inHg or kPa. The O-Ring is situated inside a precision routed Dovetail O-Ring Groove on the lid which also has two lid handles enabling easy lifting of the fully removable vacuum lid.

Some of our Popular Items

We make Robustly Designed and Quality Engineered Systems. Check out some of our other items we carry that you can combine/integrate with your systems or projects.

Internal Pressurization ASTM F2096 Leak Testing Systems
Internal Pressurization (ASTM F2096) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process to discover leaks in sealed packages. As opposed to the vacuum bubble leak test, where the specimen is subjected to a vacuum, the internal pressurization integrity test creates a pressure difference and drives the air through a leak by internally pressurizing the specimen. Our Internal Pressurization Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM F2096 Protocol Standard.
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps are utilized in environments where low noise, no oil mist emissions, low maintenance, and no product cross-contamination are required such as hospitals or labs.
Our Work: Custom Vacuum Chamber with Blank Plate
You are looking at our standard Acrylic Vacuum Chamber, Hinged Door with Clamps. There is only one difference; this vacuum chamber has a blank acrylic plate that is connected to and aluminum plate which in turn is anchored to the side wall of the acrylic vacuum chamber. This blank plate is there to enable our client to add vacuum feedthroughs to the side wall in the future
