Edwards STP magnetically levitated turbomolecular pumps

Edwards® is a leader in clean and dry vacuum technology. The first STP pumps were sold in 1983 and there are now over 80000 installations worldwide. 85% are operating on semiconductor process tools where they demonstrate exceptional levels of reliability. STP pumps are the first choice for applications demanding high up-time, hydrocarbon-free pumping, minimal maintenance and low vibration.

  • Proven reliability.
  • Clean oil-free high vacuum.
  • Complete range from 300 to 4500 l s-1.
  • Application specific models.
  • Very low noise and vibration.
  • Low cost of ownership.
  • Virtually maintenance free.Installation in any orientation.
  • Full remote control interface.
  • •Supported globally by Edwards

Proven magnetic bearing technology

The rotor is entirely suspended by magnetic bearings so all contact between the rotor and the remainder of the pump is eliminated. As well as giving very low vibration, the elimination of contact means no bearing wear and no requirement for consequent pump maintenance.

Edwards® STP range


Edwards® UHV series

The Edwards® Ultra High Vacuum series of magnetically levitated turbo molecular pumps are the products of choice for the semiconductor, surface science or high energy physics industries. They offer unrivalled reliability, performance, cleanliness and class leading low vibration levels. The pumps are all d.c. powered, eliminating the need for batteries, they use a half rack controller which features auto-tuning and advanced diagnostic features. The range contains pumps with speeds from 300 l s-1 to 1000 l s-1 all of which are available in ISO or CF flange variants.

Edwards® High throughput series

The high throughput series of magnetically levitated turbo pumps generate the high gas flows required by the current generation of semiconductor etch, ion implant and LCD systems. All the pumps feature a five active axis magnetic bearing system and a d.c. drive for increased robustness and stability. They use a Holweck stage to provide advanced throughput performance. They operate via a half rack controller with auto-tuning, advanced diagnostics and an integrated temperature management system The range operates with throughput speeds from 300 l s-1 to 1300 l s-1.

Edwards® Advantage series

The new Edwards®Advantage series of magnetically levitated turbo pumps have been designed to provide the highest levels of throughput required by the next generation of semiconductor etch and CVD processes. They have been developed, using continuous improvement techniques, from the ultra reliable, high performance H series of products. Their advanced rotor design combined with selection of the best materials has allowed the creation of the next generation of high throughput turbo pump inside the same footprint as many of the existing models. The range contains pumps with throughput speeds from 800 l s-1 to 4500 l s-1.

Edwards® STP features

Edwards STP magnetically levitated turbomolecular pumps

Edwards® Oil free

All Edwards® STP turbomolecular pumps are oil free. The use of magnetic bearings eliminates all hydrocarbon lubricants ensuring no contamination of the vacuum process from the turbomolecular pump. This feature is vital in the semiconductor industry (where device densities are constantly increasing) and in surface science or high energy physics applications (where even minute degrees of contamination disrupt measurements).

Maintenance free

Unlike conventional mechanical bearings, magnetic levitation means there is no frictional contact, eliminating sources of wear and vibration. This feature enables STP turbomolecular pumps to run for years with virtually no maintenance, reducing annual operating costs to a minimum and ensuring maximum up-time is achieved. This maintenance free feature can be particularly beneficial on processes producing chemical or radioactive contamination.

Vibration free

Magnetic levitation of the rotor results in an extremely low level of noise and vibration. Peak-to-peak vibration level is less than 0.02 µm. This amplitude remains constant throughout the life of the pump and is free from troublesome sub-harmonics.
