Discover the wide range of applications for VOC vacuum screws in various industrial sectors. From analytical technology and thin film deposition to quantum computing and research & development – our vacuum screws are indispensable for preventing virtual leaks and ensuring optimum process conditions in highly sensitive vacuum applications.
Reliable vacuum screws for precise measurements
Vacuum technology paved the way for various technological achievements of the past century and is a key enabling technology of the 21st century. Global cross-industry trends such as nanotechnology mean ever lower pressure ranges and therefore higher demands on the vacuum technology components used.
Vacuum-optimizing screws are required in all industries in which high to very high demands are placed on the vacuum environment. Especially in high vacuum pressure ranges from <1E-6 mbar, virtual leaks, i.e. gases trapped in cavities, have a massive impact on the process pressure, the service life of the system and the contamination of the vacuum. Users should therefore avoid trapped gas volumes in their vacuum systems. With the help of our vented screws, you can vent blind holes in screw connections very efficiently and cost-effectively.
Precision in the analysis
As one of the largest areas of application for vacuum technology, analysis technology covers all applications that require a vacuum. Whether electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, surface analysis, metrology and many others – they all share the high demands placed on the vacuum components used.
In this market, system manufacturers and users rely on vacuum screws to eliminate as many disruptive factors as possible in the vacuum application. Because only with optimal process conditions can the limits of what is feasible be pushed and disruptive scientific findings gained.
Innovative coating technologies
Functional or decorative layers are applied to products such as fiber optics, lenses or displays and screens under defined vacuum conditions. All these layers require high-precision components for a reliable process flow.
The VOC vacuum screws are used to mount superstructures in the coating systems. Use our vacuum-optimizing screws in the same way as your existing standard screws and benefit from an optimized vacuum environment without changing the design.
Purity in semiconductor production
In many areas of semiconductor production, an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is essential to reliably avoid interfering substances in the process. Producing state-of-the-art microchips requires a vacuum environment in which the process pressure is safely maintained and no substances are outgassed into the vacuum.
With the help of VOC vacuum screws, users effectively eliminate virtual leaks in blind threaded holes and are a big step closer to process-reliable production.
Expanding the boundaries of science
The scientific community is one of the largest users of vacuum technology, led by the extensive application area of basic research (including particle accelerators).
However, vented screws are not only used in particle accelerators, where the interrelationships of the universe are explored, but also in other fields of research such as quantum computing, plasma physics, photonics, space research and many others to set up vacuum experiments.
