Frequently asked questions

Why is a backing pump commonly used with this class of machine?General reference — not yet source-verified

A backing pump reduces the pressure enough for the turbomolecular pump to operate effectively and maintain high-vacuum conditions.

What kinds of systems rely on this class of vacuum pump?General reference — not yet source-verified

Vacuum chambers, analytical instruments, process tools, and other equipment that require clean evacuated spaces commonly rely on this class of pump.
