Product features
- Rugged and accurate solutions for the harshest environments.
- Passive gauges electronics are kept in a separate controller, which is what enables them to cope in irradiated environments.
- Edwards system integration options → simplify specification of complete vacuum solutions
- Serviceable construction → supports planned maintenance and lifecycle control
- Genuine spare-parts support → helps reduce unplanned downtime risk
- Industrial-duty construction → supports repeatable operation under sustained loads
- Verified technical documentation → enables model selection against actual process requirements
- AxFlow product-selection support → helps align pump, controls and accessories with the application
- Maintenance and service support → helps protect process continuity over the equipment lifecycle
- Application-specific configuration → helps avoid oversizing, undersizing and unnecessary operating cost
Whilst active gauging now dominates the market, there are still niche applications in which passive gauging is supreme. These include any application where having electronics close to the experiment would result in failure of the device. Drive electronics are still needed to control the gauge, but these can be kept remotely in our dedicated controller that can be placed up to 50m away from the gauge to give a “local” display and pressure output to your system.
What is Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers used for?
Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers is used for nuo procesinio vakuumo iki UHV matavimo sistemoms. It should be selected around the required vacuum level, gas load and process conditions. The exact configuration depends on the application.
How does Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers work?
Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers is based on Pirani, Penning, Bayard-Alpert ir Extractor jonizaciniai matuokliai su PGC valdikliais. This technology creates or supports the vacuum required by the process. Performance must be checked against the selected model and operating point.
What technical data should be checked before selecting Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers?
Check pumping speed, working and ultimate pressure, gas composition, temperature, cooling and connections. Verified product information includes bendras matavimo diapazonas gali apimti nuo atmosferos iki 10⁻¹² mbar; PGC201 iki 10⁻⁹ mbar, PGC202 iki 10⁻¹² mbar pagal naudojamą galvutę. AxFlow can help compare these requirements with the available Edwards configurations.
What maintenance does Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers require?
Maintenance depends on the technology, operating hours and process contamination. Follow Edwards service instructions and use the correct consumables and spare parts. Preventive maintenance helps reduce unplanned downtime.
Can AxFlow support Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers selection and service?
AxFlow can support product selection for Edwards Passive Gauges and Controllers and help identify the appropriate configuration. AxFlow also provides service and spare-parts support for installed equipment. Contact AxFlow for availability and a quote.
