Pfeiffer Balzers TPH 050 50 L/s Turbo Molecular Pump TCP-040 Controller KF-40

Pfeiffer Balzers TPH 050 50 L/s Turbo Molecular Pump TCP-040 Controller KF-40 KF-16

This is a complete turbo molecular pump system designed for high-vacuum applications in semiconductor processing, thin-film coating, research laboratories, and analytical instrumentation. The TPH 050 pump delivers 50 L/s pumping speed and mounts via a KF-40 inlet flange, paired with the TCP-040 controller for full operation and power management. Turbo molecular pumps are commonly integrated into multi-stage vacuum systems that combine backing pumps with turbomolecular stages to achieve pressures in the 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁸ torr range.

Applications

Turbo molecular pumps like the TPH 050 are essential components in systems requiring sustained high-vacuum conditions. They are widely used in semiconductor processing and etching, thin-film deposition and PVD sputtering systems, laboratory research environments, and analytical instrumentation such as mass spectrometers and electron microscopy. These pumps work most effectively as the high-vacuum stage in a multi-stage pumping stack, where a mechanical backing pump reduces pressure to the rough-vacuum range before the turbomolecular pump takes over to reach ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. This two-stage approach is standard in most modern vacuum chambers and research setups.
