The pump operating principle
Pumping principle
The ATH 500 M pump integrates the advantages of a multi-staged
turbomolecular pump with a spiral helix molecular drag section.
The turbomolecular section provides high pumping speeds and
high ultimate vacuum. The molecular drag section provides a high
compression ratio and extends the forevacuum tolerance up to the
range of mbar.
