Important information for correct installation
► Only use the approved mounting kits of Pfeiffer Vacuum for the high vacuum connection of the
5.3.2 Considering earthquake protection
Vacuum pump damage caused by external vibrations
In the event of earthquakes or other external vibrations, there is the risk of the rotor coming into con-
tact with the safety bearings, or the housing wall touching the turbopump. This can produce mechani-
cal loads up to and including destruction of the turbopump.
► Make sure that all flange and safety connections absorb the resulting forces.
► Secure the vacuum chamber against displacement or tipping.

5.3.3 Using splinter shield or protective screen
Pfeiffer Vacuum centering rings with splinter shield or protective screen in the high vacuum flange pro-
tect the turbopump against foreign matter from the vacuum chamber. The pumping speed of the turbo-
pump decreases according to the conductivity and the size of the high vacuum flange.

Effect of splinter shield or protective screen on pumping speed
The theoretically calculated torque in the event of a burst (rotor shaft breakage) according to ISO 27892 was
not reached in any experimental test.
A one-sided load is not permitted.
