Vacuum technology

Long life guaranteed

Vacuum technology is a significant basis for research, development and the manufacture of innovative products, from semiconductors to the solar industry. The final pressure, suction performance or media resistance play a role in the application depending upon the vacuum pump design. Bearings are the heart of the vacuum pump – and only robust bearings ensure high endurance at high RPMs as well as in rough environmental conditions.

The challenge for turbo molecular pump bearings:

• Long life expectancy
• Absolute reliability
• High speeds
• Low noise level
• Low vibration
• Cleanliness

Optimized engineering

GMN develops customer-specific high-precision ball bearings with special dimensions, designs and cages for turbo molecular pumps.

Significant performance criteria are:

• Product optimized bearing design
• Use of covered bearings to protect against contamination and to increase life
• Ceramic balls for higher speeds, minimal friction and optimized bearing dynamics
• Integrated tribological concept (lubricant, preservation, surface quality, materials)
• For grease lubrication use the GMN TXM cage for low-vibration and quiet operation
