Research and Development Vacuum Chamber
Vacuum Chambers are often utilized in research and development ranging from pharmaceuticals, product design, or aerospace. Many potential customers reach out to us asking us if this or that is doable with a vacuum chamber. The answer is usually yes, the vacuum systems industry is a mature one and what you may think is something that cannot be done or may be difficult to do, it may have already been done. Most of our builds are custom builds made specifically to customer requirements.

One example is the vacuum chamber you are looking at. This is a top loading, hinged top lid. It has this weirdly machined plate that is difficult to see, since the acrylic is crystal clear, inside the vacuum chamber. You will notice several holes of various patterns and different sizes. These holes are made to accommodate the part that our customer is researching and developing. Furthermore, you will notice two Coaxial Vacuum Feedthroughs on the Right wall. There are also two 0.25 inch NPT feedthroughs where the NPT thread is present on the inside and outside. You will also notice several wires of varying gauge sizes present inside the chamber. These wires are connected via a vacuum wire feedthrough. This means that you can run electrical signal, voltage, amperage, or power into the vacuum chamber during vacuum operations without compromising the vacuum.

As you can see, looking at the Digital Vacuum Gauge, the chamber is currently at 96 milliTorr of absolute pressure. This equals about 99.987% vacuum. We have pulled this much vacuum as our customer required this chamber go beyond 100 milliTorr. If you are looking for a high performance vacuum chamber for Research and Development, contact us to find out why were are the industry leading vacuum chamber manufacturer.

We treat our customers well by Over-Delivering on our Promises (reason why we are Highly Rated on Google My Business). Check out some of our other items we carry that you can combine/integrate with your systems or projects.

Vacuum Oven Systems
Vacuum Ovens are vacuum chambers and ovens combined in one system. Vacuum ovens are necessary during processes which require the specimen to be subjected to a hypobaric and hyperthermal environment. Our Vacuum Oven Systems enable to you run a complete vacuum vs time and temperature vs time profile. We also carry portable vacuum oven systems and custom vacuum oven systems.
Wire Vacuum Feedthroughs
Wire Vacuum Feedthroughs are wires that are run from the outside of the chamber towards the inside of the vacuum chamber. We carry a wide variety of wires and wire gauges that can be used with any vacuum chamber.
Our Work: High Altitude Vacuum Testing of Electrical Connectors and Components
This was an interesting project where one of our customers needed to test wires up to 44 inches long within a high altitude simulation environment. In addition to testing wires, several other electric connectors required altitude testing as well. The altitude requirements were 100,000 feet (30.510 km) which corresponds to 8.36 Torr - a piece of cake when it comes to the vacuum requirements of our chambers.

In the article we are going to cover rotary vane vacuum pumps. We will touch upon how they work, what they are used for, when to utilize a rotary vane vacuum pump, its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps you have noticed that rotary vane vacuum pumps come in all shapes and sizes. On one website, the vacuum pump is less than a $100; on another website you see a vacuum pump quotes at $10,000. I would imagine that you immediately ask yourself what the deal here is.
