Vacuum Equipment for Ultra High Vacuum Applications Brochure
We offer a range of ion pumps, NEG-Ion combination pumps, titanium sublimation pumps, non-evaporable getter pumps and accessories through Gamma Vacuum.
Capture pumping technologies create high vacuum (HV) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments for a variety of applications, ranging from portable mass spectrometers to large scale particle accelerators. They can create the lowest possible vacuum at an economical cost.
HyTan NEG-Ion Pumps
NEG pumps deliver high pumping speeds for H2 but also chemically active gases such as N2, O2 and CO, whilst ion pumps efficiently extract all gas species including noble gases and methane. HyTan NEG-Ion Pumps combine both technologies into one compact UHV pump.
With exchangeable modules the NEG pumps offer hydrogen pumping speed ranges from 100 – 500 l/s, and with noble and conventional diode elements for the ion pump module, this innovative technology is suitable for a wide range of UHV applications.
Due to its compact size, and the option of assembling the pump inside a chamber, the HyTan NEG-Ion Pump is a perfect fit for UHV environments where space is restricted.

Ion pumps
Titan ion pump
Also known as sputter ion pumps or ion getter pumps.
Those are capture pumps that ionize gases using an anode/cathode array.
Ions sputter reactive cathode materials, creating a chemical reaction that turns the ionized gases into solid compounds. Those compounds no longer contribute to the pressure of the vacuum system and are permanently captured within the ion pump.
Ion pumps can operate from 10-5 to 10-12 mbar and range in size from 0.2 to 1,200 l/s of nitrogen.
Titanium sublimation pumps
Operate by heating a titanium filament and subliming (converting from solid to gas phase) titanium molecules onto a surface.
Sublimed titanium molecules are then available to chemically react with reactive gases, like oxygen and nitrogen, and disassociate and diffuse hydrogen.
TSP’s can operate from 10-5 to 10-12 mbar and have pumping speeds in excess of 10,000 l/s of hydrogen.

Are reactive metals that have been pressed onto solid substrates or sintered into discs.
A specific combination of Zirconium, Vanadium and Iron has been found to work best for HV and UHV environments. The amount of material used controls the speed and capacity of the NEG pump, but typically range from 55 to 412 l/s and capacity from 630 to 3600 Torr l/s.
As NEG’s become saturated with gases, they can be reactivated without venting to atmosphere.

Ultra High Vacuum Pump key features
Mechanical vibration eliminated
Capture pumps have no moving parts. Vibration from moving parts and electrical noise is eliminated
High radiation tolerance
Capture pumps are built with radiation tolerant materials in excess of 108 Gray. Connectors and cables are also built with radiation tolerant materials for years of continuous operation
High temperature tolerance
Without any special consideration, capture pumps can be baked to 250 °C. Removing the magnets allows for hotter bakes up to 450 °C. Long hot bakes are critical to every UHV system
Regular maintenance eliminated
Capture pumps require virtually no maintenance and avoid costly vacuum events because they are sealed from atmosphere, saving time, money and resources
Low initial operational costs
Initial cost is typically less than comparable specifications of other types of vacuum pumps. They use minimal or no power for years of low cost operation
