Compare Edwards and Leybold turbomolecular vacuum pumps, with help from Girovac on pumping speed, chamber connections, backing pumps and controls. Find a turbo pump that suits your system Start with the gas you need to remove, your target pressure and gas load, then compare the inlet connection and pumping speeds. Our range includes Edwards nEXT85D to nEXT930D pumps and Leybold TURBOVAC 90 to 950 i/iX models. Each listing gives gas-specific figures so you can make a useful comparison. Compare the pump families
the nEXT85D offers NW40, DN63 and DN100 inlet options. The nEXT240D and nEXT300D use DN100 inlets; the nEXT400D and nEXT730D use DN160; the nEXT930D uses DN200. Pumping speed varies with gas and, on some models, flange version.
Leybold TURBOVAC:
compare the DN63 90 i/iX, DN100 250 and 350, DN160 450 and 850, and DN200 950 i/iX. Choose i or iX according to the control and accessory connections your installation needs. Questions about turbomolecular pumps Does a turbomolecular pump need a backing pump? Yes. A backing pump removes gas from the turbo pump’s exhaust and keeps the forevacuum pressure within its operating limits. Browse two-stage rotary vane pumps or read our backing pump guide. We can help match the backing capacity to your turbo model and gas throughput. Why do the gas and flange type affect the pumping speed? A turbomolecular pump performs differently with nitrogen, argon, helium and hydrogen. The inlet geometry can also affect performance: for example, the nEXT730D has different ISO-K and CF ratings. Compare the figures for the gas and flange you will use. Which gauges and fittings should I include? Choose vacuum gauges for both the high-vacuum chamber and backing line, with measurement ranges suited to each location. Match the vacuum fittings to the pump and chamber, and keep the inlet connection as short and unrestricted as the installation allows. Can I replace my existing pump without changing the rest of the system? It depends on the connections, backing pump, controls and cooling already installed. Send the full pump reference, controller details and a nameplate photograph. Girovac can check the replacement requirements and quote the equipment you need.
