CF Flanged SS 3-Position Gate Valves (Pneumatic)
These CF flanged stainless steel 3-position pneumatic gate valves are commonly utilized in upstream pressure control applications, often working alongside mass flow controllers to provide precise flow regulation. The valves feature a micrometer-adjustable third position that allows for partial remote actuation, offering flexible control over the open position.
Constructed with vacuum furnace brazing at 1100°C and 10⁻⁶ torr, both the body and internal components ensure superior joint integrity, effectively eliminating risks of “virtual leaks” or entrapment areas. This advanced brazing process also minimizes body distortion, a common issue with traditional welded valves. For easier maintenance, the carriage assembly can be removed without the need to disconnect the valve from the system.
Key Features:
- Electropolished stainless steel construction: Enhances durability and corrosion resistance.
- Minimal interior surface area: Among the smallest in the vacuum valve industry, reducing potential contamination risks.
- Positive shut-off mechanism: The valve stays closed in the event of power loss coupled with a pressure drop, ensuring operational safety.
- Innovative air cylinder design: Free of mechanical locks within the vacuum, significantly reducing shock and vibration during use.
- Perfect for semiconductor applications: Optimized for sensitive environments like semiconductor manufacturing and similar precision processes.
Available for purchase from TFM, these valves offer reliable performance in critical high-vacuum applications.
