Anchoring the pumping station
In the case the rotor of the turbopump suddenly blocs, the resulting torque must be ab-
sorbed via the pumping station frame by the fixture provided by the customer. Anchoring
the pumping station is mandatory in order to secure the pumping station and the vacuum
system. For this purpose, there are 3 securing hooks at the lower corners of the pumping
station frame.
Lock all pumping station roller brakes.
Fasten the pumping station with lashing straps at all 3 securing hooks.
– Pay attention to the fit and the stress of the straps; the strap loop has to be in the
recess of the securing hook.
– Fasten securely the lashing straps provided by the the customer in order to be able
to hold loads up to 2000 N per anchorage point.

Connecting the high vacuum side
The assembly of superstructures on the pumping station HiCube Pro is in the operator’s
responsibility. The load capacity of the high vacuum flange is specific for the used tur-
bopump. The gross weight of superstructures on the pumping station HiCube Pro may
not
exceed 100 kg!
Observe barycentric shifting by using high or lateral protruding superstructure (e.g.
vacuum chamber).
Danger of tilting!
