Edwards nEXT240D Turbomolecular Vacuum Pump

Product details

Edwards nEXT240D for your high-vacuum system

The Edwards nEXT240D is a high-vacuum turbomolecular pump with 240 l/s nitrogen pumping speed and a DN100 ISO-K or CF inlet. Whether you are replacing an existing pump or building a system, Girovac can help you choose the connections, backing pump and controls.

Pumping speeds and connections

Pumping speed depends on the gas being removed. The table gives the pump’s ratings; the effective speed at the chamber also depends on the connecting pipework and operating pressure.

High-vacuum inlet: DN100 ISO-K or CF. Backing connection: NW25.

Putting the system together

A suitable backing pump removes gas from the turbo pump’s exhaust and maintains the required forevacuum pressure. Its capacity needs to suit your gas load as well as the turbo model. Explore two-stage rotary vane backing pumps or ask us about an alternative arrangement for your process.

The nEXT range has integrated drive electronics. We can help you match the power supply, control interface, cables and any external controller to the exact pump version. Air and water cooling accessories are available; the right arrangement depends on gas type, throughput and ambient temperature.

Replacement pumps and servicing

Replacing an existing pump? Send us its full model reference and a photograph of the nameplate, together with the controller and flange details. We can check the connections and equipment needed for the replacement.

If the pump has developed a fault, include any fault code or change in performance when you ask about servicing.

Questions about the nEXT240D

Which other model should I compare?

Compare the nEXT300D if you need a DN100 inlet and 300 l/s nitrogen pumping speed. Check the gas-specific figures and installation requirements for both pumps before choosing.

Can this pump operate without a backing pump?

No. It needs a suitable backing pump and the manufacturer’s start-up and shutdown sequence. If you already have a backing pump, send us its model and your process details so we can check whether it is suitable.

Which vacuum gauges will I need?

The chamber and backing line operate at different pressures. Choose vacuum gauges that cover each measurement range and work with your gases and controls. Tell us your target pressure and whether you need a local display or a signal for the control system.

What is included with the pump?
