Connection of the High Vacuum Flange
If the rotor stops suddenly, the resulting torque must be absorbed by the
hardware fastening the high vacuum flange.
Bolts or hardware must meet the specification below.
WARNING!
It is mandatory to connect the pump in such a way to withstand the torque
specified in the "INSTRUCTION FOR USE" section. Specifically pay attention
to clamp design, material of clamps and bolts and bolt fixing torque.
Use only high resistance class clamps (or bolts) ≥ 8.8.
WARNING!
If the pump is fastened on a vacuum chamber with flanges different from
those recommended by Agilent, there is the chance of the 305 FS twisting or
tearing-off in case the rotor suddenly stops. The combination of different
flange types is not allowed. Agilent will not accept any liability for all
damages resulting from improper fastening.
