- PART 1: Storage tips for ball bearing pumps:
- Regular rotation: Manually start the vacuum pump every six months and run it for 30-60 minutes to prevent the ball bearings from being damaged due to long-term static.Keep away from vibration sources: Store the pump away from high-vibration equipment such as forklifts to reduce vibration damage to the bearings.Temperature control: Ensure that the pump is stored within the upper and lower limits of the storage temperature required by the manual to avoid freezing damage or overheating and damage.
- PART 2 Storage tips for high vacuum pumps:
- For example, the TURBOVAC i/iX/iR series must be stored according to specific requirements to ensure that it is always available.
- Magnetic levitation turbomolecular pumps: MAG series vacuum pumps do not require grease and can be idle for a long time without problems.
- Semi-magnetic turbomolecular pump: Turbovaci series molecular pumps have grease-lubricated bearings. After long-term idleness, soft start procedures need to be performed according to the documents provided by Leybold to protect the bearings.
- Ambient temperature: Maintain a storage environment of -15 to 70 degrees Celsius to prevent adverse effects.
- PART 3 Keep the pump in good condition:
- Whether it is a ball bearing pump or a high vacuum pump, regular maintenance and proper storage are the guarantee for its optimal performance during critical periods. This not only maintains your equipment assets but also effectively reduces long-term downtime and maintenance costs. Master the correct storage techniques to ensure that your vacuum pump is in the best condition at all times, providing a solid backing for your production efficiency and equipment safety.
