Fundamentals of Vacuum Valves

ULVAC's L-shaped vacuum angle valve is manufactured in stainless steel and line-up full range of JIS flange specifications. Open/Close parts are double-acting or single-acting cylinders and manually. Connecting flange types are 4 types, of which size ranges are 16A (5/8inch) to 900A (36inch).

* Dimensions between surfaces for cylinder pressure air apply port size are not compatible with some older models

Cylinder structure

Supported operation systems are three types supporting 0.10MPa;

  • Double Acting Cylinder
  • Single Acting Cylinder
  • Manual

  • The feedthrough of VL□-SA is O-ring (FKM)shaft feedthrough, which endures particles.
  • The feedthrough of VLP-U is O-ring (NBR) shaft feedthrough, which endures particles.
  • The feedthrough of VL□-SB is bellows feedthrough, which minimizes outgassing.
  • The Bonnet flange seal of VLP-MB is metal, making it possible to bake out at 200˚C (392F) in the opening position.

Flange

The connection flange lineups 4 types and size variety are 16A to 350A manufactured in stainless steel(*1); JIS-VF, JIS-KF, ISO-K, ISO-CF.
The large size of over 500A is manufactured in structure steel(*2).

(*1) O-ring is fluoro rubber: FKM.
(*2) O-ring is nitrile rubber: NBR.

Recommended solenoid valve for valve operation

Howto_VLP4.png

  • <*>The old VLP solenoid valve can be used for the new valve.
  • When the solenoid valve for the old VLP-U6, VLP-U14, and VLP-U14R is diverted to the new valve, the operation time may be slightly delayed.
  • Solenoid valves are not available in the new lineup.
