4.2.7  Admissible forces 
 
 
Force at valve body 
Forces from evacuating the system, from the weight of other components, and from 
baking can lead to deformation and malfunctioning of the valve.  
Do not higher force the valve body as specified. 
 
 
 
The following forces are admissible.

compressive force

 and M) the values are 
invalid.  
Verify that the depth of the mounting screws is min. 1 x thread 
diameter.

4.2.8  Requirements to sensor connection 
To achieve fast and accurate pressure control a fast sensor response is required. Sensor response time: 
< 50ms. The sensor is normally connected to the chamber by a pipe. To maintain that the response time 
is not degraded by this connection it needs to meet the following requirements: 
• 
Inner diameter of connection pipe: > = 10 mm 
• 
Length of connection pipe:  < = 300 mm 
These conductance guidelines must include all valves and limiting orifices that may also be present. Make 
also sure that there is no obstruction in front of sensor connection port inside the chamber. The sensor 
should also be mounted free of mechanical shock and vibration. Dynamic stray magnetic fields may 
introduce noise to sensor output and should be avoided or shielded.
