Connection of the High Vacuum Flange
If the rotor stops suddenly, the resulting torque must be absorbed by the hardware
fastening the high vacuum flange.
Bolts or hardware must meet the specification below.
WARNING
It is mandatory to connect the pump in such a way to withstand the torque
specified in the "TPS-compact Mounting" section. Specifically pay
attention to clamp design, material of clamps and bolts and bolt fixing
torque.
Use only high resistance class clamps (or bolts) ≥ 8.8.
WARNING
If the pump is fastened on a vacuum chamber with flanges different from
those recommended by Agilent, there is the chance of the TPS-compact
twisting or tearing-off in case the rotor suddenly stops. The combination
of different flange types is not allowed. Agilent will not accept any liability
for all damages resulting from improper fastening.
