|
The VAH Series are manual high vacuum gate valves developed using ULVAC's wealth of accumulated vacuum technology and experience. They enable conductance to be easily adjusted.
- O-ring shaft seals draw little air into valves.
Simpler structure makes maintenance easy.
Use of aluminum alloy enables more lightweight design.
Use of link mechanism enables more compact design.
Low vibrations
Low cost
- Evacuation system lines on vacuum equipment

Note:1. This catalog uses SI measurement units. Conversion to non-SI units is as follows:
1 Pa = 7.5 x 10-3 torr
2. Ensure that maximum differential pressure for valve OPEN/CLOSE operations is no more than 1000 Pa.
*1 a. Seal characteristic value in static state. Leak rate doesn't include O-ring permeation rate.
b. Air adhering to shaft may be drawn in during valve operation, increasing apparent leak rate.
