DESCRIPTION OF THE MINI-TASK AG81
The Mini-TASK AG81 pumping system consists of
a pump with an integrated controller and a fore-
pump and is available in three models which differ
only in the high vacuum flange.
The four models are:
− Model 969-9180 with KF 40 high vacuum
flange;
− Model 969-9181 with ISO 63 high vacuum
flange;
− Model 969-9182 with ConFlat 4.5" external di-
ameter high vacuum flange.
The following figures show the three models.
Turbopump Description
The turbopump consists of a high frequency motor
driving a turbine fitted with 10 bladed stages and 3
Macrotorr stages. The turbine rotates in an anti-
clockwise direction when viewed from the high
vacuum flange end.
The turbine is made of high-strength, light alumin-
ium alloy, and is machined from a single block of
aluminium. The turbine blades have five different
angles, from 44° to 12°, while the Macrotorr stages
are in the form of discs.
The turbine rotor is supported by permanently lu-
bricated high precision ceramic ball bearings in-
stalled on the forevacuum side of the pump.
The static blades of the stator are fabricated in
stainless steel. These are supported and accu-
rately positioned by spacer rings.
The Macrotorr stators are in the form of self-
positioning machined discs with pumping channels
and an opening restricted by the corresponding
rotor discs. These are fabricated in aluminium al-
loy.
During normal operation, the motor functions with
a power feed at 54 Vac three-phase at 1330 Hz.
To reduce losses during start-up to a minimum,
the frequency increases according to a ramp with
a higher initial voltage/frequency ratio.
A thermistor sensor is mounted near the upper
bearing to prevent the pump from overheating.
The pump is balanced after assembly with a resid-
ual vibration amplitude less than 0.01 µm.
