The small-flange connector for the high-vacuum flange at the
TURBOVAC
50 is not strong enough to keep the pump from rotating if it should sud-
denly seize. Rotation of the pump can cause leaks in the forevacuum
line. Secure the pump additionally to prevent rotation in case it should
suddenly seize.
In most applications the
TURBOVAC
will be flanged direct to the high-vacuum
flange for the system. The design of the lubricating system makes it possible
to mount and run the
TURBOVAC
in any desired attitude. It is not necessary
to support the pump.
If there is a danger that dust could pass from the vacuum chamber into the
TURBOVAC
, install a fine-mesh filter between the vacuum chamber and the
TURBOVAC
.
The
TURBOVAC
is precision balanced and is generally operated without a
vibration damper. A special-design vibration damper is available for mounting
at the
TURBOVAC
high-vacuum flange to decouple extremely sensitive equip-
ment and to prevent external vibrations from being transferred to the
TURBO-
VAC
. If the
TURBOVAC
1000 C are flanged via a vibration damper secure it in
addition at the base flange.
