An ion pump (also referred to as a sputter ion pump) is a type of vacuum pump which operates by sputtering a metal getter. Under ideal conditions, ion pumps are capable of reaching pressures as low as 10 −11 mbar. [1]

Discover the complete range of Agilent Vacuum (formerly Varian) ion getter pumps. These ultra high (UHV) and extreme high (XHV) vacuum ion pumps feature mini and small VacIon pumps, medium and large VacIon Plus pumps, titanium sublimation pumps (ion CombiTSP), and ion CombiNEG pumps.

Understand the working principle of ion pumps, with explanatory diagrams and an introduction to how pumping speed is affected

How an ion pump works. An ion pump is a type of vacuum pump used to create an ultra-high vacuum. They are also called sputter ion pump or noble pump. There are several types of vacuum pumps, including ion pumps, as follows.

Ion getter pumps, also called sputter ion pumps, produce ultra-high vacuum (UHV) without the aid of moving parts or valves. They require a large magnetic field within an isolated chamber and use high voltages to pull electrons into the assembly.

Ion pumps are commonly used in ultra-high vacuum and can attain pressures less than x 10-11. Ion Pumps have no moving parts and use no oil and are commonly used on vacuum devices like linear accelerators, traveling wave tubes and x-ray tubes.

Ion pumps, or sputter ion pumps, provide vibration free UHV, ideally suited for delicate, high-precision instrumentation and processes. In addition to Agilent Varian MiniVac ion pump controllers, we offer diode ion pumps, noble diode ion pumps, starcell ion pumps, as well as ion pump cables and custom designed UHV systems.

• A complete range of SEM ion pumps from 10 to 75 l/s, tailored to your specific vacuum needs. • Small footprint for easier system integration. SEM Ion Pumps are available on request; please ask Varian for technical details. Carl Zeiss SMT, global leader in light, electron and ion-optical technologies for industry and R&D, has designated

Ion pumps create high vacuum /ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments when used with existing high vacuum systems and turbo molecular pumps. They can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from portable mass spectrometers to large scale particle accelerators.

Ion pumps are commonly used to create ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) due to their cleanliness, ability to pump different gases, and maintenance and vibration-free operation. Long operating life and ability to read pressure are …
