VAT X-VAT100-40496 Air Actuated Valve Port 100mm High Vacuum Chamber SS 56"

VAT X-VAT100-40496 Air Actuated Valve Port 100mm High Vacuum Chamber SS 56"

The VAT X-VAT100-40496 is a pneumatically actuated (air actuated) stainless steel valve port assembly designed for high vacuum chamber applications. The assembly consists of three VAT pneumatic actuators mounted to a stainless steel valve cover rail, forming a long isolation valve port spanning 56 inches. VAT is a Swiss manufacturer and one of the leading producers of high vacuum valves and components used in semiconductor, solar, flat panel display, and precision coating processes worldwide.

Applications

VAT pneumatic vacuum valves of this type are used as isolation or gate valves in high and ultra-high vacuum process chambers across a range of industries. This particular assembly, with its elongated multi-actuator design, is well suited to large-format vacuum chambers such as those used in solar panel (thin-film PV) manufacturing, flat panel display deposition, large-area sputtering, and semiconductor CVD or PVD systems. In these environments, air actuated valves provide reliable, fast, and repeatable chamber isolation — allowing sections of a vacuum system to be vented, serviced, or isolated without disturbing adjacent process zones. VAT vacuum valves are a standard component in high vacuum infrastructure and are commonly found in research institutions, national labs, and industrial vacuum processing facilities. This unit was pulled from a large solar panel manufacturing facility, where it served in exactly this role on a production vacuum chamber.
