Product Overview
The Pfeiffer Vacuum ATH 500M (VY4121G4) is a magnetically levitated turbomolecular vacuum pump engineered for high-vacuum generation in demanding industrial and research environments. Utilizing a frictionless magnetic bearing system, the rotor operates without mechanical contact, eliminating wear particles and lubrication contamination while delivering exceptional rotational speed and compression ratios. This pump is designed to serve as a primary high-vacuum source in systems requiring oil-free, hydrocarbon-free operation, such as semiconductor manufacturing, thin-film deposition, and analytical instrumentation. Its integrated drive electronics and water-cooling provisions ensure stable performance under continuous industrial duty cycles.
