Product Overview
The INFICON VSM063-AA (Part Number 253-030) is a precision-engineered vacuum isolation valve designed for high-integrity vacuum process control in demanding industrial and scientific environments. Manufactured by INFICON, a global leader in vacuum instrumentation and leak detection technology, this valve operates as a pneumatically actuated, bellows-sealed isolation component within the broader family of process and pneumatic valves. The VSM063-AA serves as a critical vacuum line shut-off element, providing reliable sealing and rapid actuation for vacuum systems requiring contamination-free operation and precise pressure isolation. Its 63 mm nominal flange size (DN 63) makes it suitable for medium-to-high conductance vacuum lines in semiconductor, coating, and analytical instrumentation applications.
