Agilent TV301 NAV Turbomolecular Pump EX9698918

The Agilent EX9698918 Turbomolecular Vacuum Turbo Navigator Pump TV301 NAV is engineered for high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) systems. It delivers rapid pump-down cycles and hydrocarbon-free vacuum levels with minimal vibration. Built with an integrated Navigator onboard controller, this unit pairs multi-stage blading with molecular drag stages. As a result, analytical instruments achieve stable base pressures without system contamination.

Key Technical Specifications of the Agilent TV301 NAV

• Pumping Speed: Delivers 250 to 280 L/s for nitrogen (N₂), depending on the chosen inlet flange.
• High Compression Ratios: Multi-stage bladed rotors provide elevated compression ratios for light gases like helium and hydrogen.
• Ultimate Pressure: Reaches down to 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ mbar when paired with an appropriate backing pump.
• Rotational Speed: Operates at a nominal speed of 56,000 RPM for maximum kinetic molecular transfer.
• Drive System & Controller: Integrated Navigator onboard controller supports direct 24 VDC / 48 VDC power input.
• Inlet/Foreline Connections: Standard high-vacuum inlet options pair with an NW16 or NW25 foreline port.

Core Architecture and Operating Advantages

• Integrated Navigator Controller: The onboard electronics eliminate external rack-mount controllers and bulky cables. As a result, system integrators save cabinet footprint while reducing electrical noise.
• Hydrocarbon-Free Vacuum: Precision ceramic ball bearings isolate lubricants from the high-vacuum stages. Therefore, no oil backstreams into the process chamber, keeping sensitive optical detectors clean.
• Dynamic Molecular Drag Stages: In addition to classic blading, the pump incorporates Holweck molecular drag stages. Therefore, it tolerates higher foreline backing pressures, enabling the use of compact diaphragm backing pumps.
• Low Vibration & Thermal Stability: Dynamic balancing minimizes mechanical resonance during high-speed rotation. Consequently, beamline instruments and electron microscopes operate without spatial resolution loss.

Common Scientific and Industrial Applications

• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Specifically, it delivers clean, steady high vacuum for GC-MS, LC-MS, and residual gas analyzers.
• Electron Microscopy: Moreover, it creates stable UHV conditions for scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and surface spectroscopy chambers.
• Semiconductor & Thin Film: Additionally, high compression ratios support sputtering, physical vapor deposition (PVD), and ion beam etching.
• Leak Detection & Accelerators: Consequently, physics laboratories gain an adaptable platform for helium leak detection and beamline transport tubes.

Manufactured according to precision high-vacuum standards by Agilent, the TV301 NAV combines onboard electronics with elevated compression ratios. It provides a reliable, compact vacuum solution for demanding scientific and industrial platforms.
