4.3.3  How to Secure the STP Pump 
 
◇  The STP pump is provided with a high-speed rotor. The worst-case failure may 
result in a jump in rotational torque leading to personal injury or peripheral 
equipment damage. 
The method of securing the STP pump will depend on the installation requirements.   
Secure the STP pump to the vacuum equipment as follows: 
◇  Design and secure the mounting for the STP pump so that it can withstand the 
maximum rotational torque. Refer to Table 4.2 for torque in pump abnormality. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
◇  In some cases, the damper and the claw clamper securing cannot be used depend 
on the type of the STP pump. 
◇  Refer to Table 4.1 for tightening torque of the bolt.

◇  When making the leg to secure the base, make them shortened more than ones 
attached to the STP pump. 
Use a material that has a tensile strength of 600N/mm
2
 or more. 
◇  When securing the base, use stainless steel securing bolts with a tensile strength 
class is 70 or more. 
 
◇  When using any securing method other than that specified in this manual, contact 
Edwards.
