Company Profile
Vacuum Research started building vacuum valves in 1953, and vacuum valves are still an important part of the business.
In 1988, Vacuum Research began developing our vacuum gauge product line, which now includes Pirani, thermocouple, diaphragm and cold cathode instruments.
In 1998, Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps were added, with an ultimate pressure of 5 x 10-4 Torr, and capacities from 3 to 28 CFM; 6 to 48 m3/hr. The pumps are well suited for both roughing and foreline applications.
Product Lines
Products, Services and Markets
Throttle Valves – aluminum and stainless steel up to 16 inch (400 m) ANSI and ISO ports. 3 position and PID control.
Rotary Vane Pumps – low cost pumps from 2.5 to 28 cfm (4 to 48 m3/hr.) Ultimate pressure of 5 X 10-4 Torr. Motors for any voltage.
Dry Roughing Pumps – totally oil-free roughing pumps with a patented piston design that produces a high compression ratio for all gases and absolutely no backstreaming. Ideal for roughing or backing cryogenic, turbomolecular and ion pumped systems. Available with capacities from 6 to 16 CFM and ultimate pressures to 20 mTorr. All models are air cooled and purge gas is not required. Designed for high reliability, these pumps will operate for over 20,000 hours without any service or maintenance. No oil, no diaphragms and made in the USA.
High Vacuum Pirani and Diaphragm Gauges – vacuum measurement and control instruments that offer the precision and resolution of digital electronics at the same price as analog instruments. Vacuum and pressure ranges from 10–5 to 1500 Torr (0.01 Pa to 200 kPa).
Wide Range Diaphragm Manometer – the VRC Wide Range Manometer uses a fast response diaphragm sensor to provide high accuracy measurements that are unaffected by gas composition from 2 to 1500 Torr. From 1 to 2000 mTorr the easy to read LED display is driven by a rugged Pirani sensor that is mounted in the transducer housing next to the diaphragm sensor.
