7.4.8 Vibration isolators
In applications where the small amount of vibration generated by the turbomolecular pump is a problem, a vibration
isolator can be fitted. The isolator consists of two special flanges separated by a flexible bellows and a rubber, anti-
vibration, outer collar. The isolator required is dependent on the pump flange size.
7.4.9 PRX purge restrictor
A modified DN10NW centring-ring is available to filter the purge gas and restrict its flow rate to the recommended
flow of 25 sccm. The restrictor is suitable for all EXT pumps fitted with a purge-port.
7.4.10 VRX vent-restrictor
Use a VRX fixed orifice vent-restrictor to restrict the flow of vent gas into the EXT pump. You can fit a vent-restrictor
to the inlet of a TAV5 vent-valve or PRX10 purge-restrictor. Refer to Section 3.4 for information on the selection of
the correct VRX vent-restrictor.
