Pfeiffer Vacuum TMH 261 Turbomolecular Pump
he Pfeiffer TMH 261 is a high-performance, classic-line TurboDrag™ molecular vacuum pump designed for high reliability across demanding semiconductor processing, industrial manufacturing, and laboratory R&D applications. This pump utilizes Pfeiffer’s time-tested hybrid bearing architecture, which features a wear-free permanent magnetic bearing on the high-vacuum side to eliminate physical contact and reduce vibration, combined with a heavy-duty, oil-lubricated ceramic ball bearing on the foreline/backing side.
This specific part number, PM P02 820 H, designates the high-throughput ("H") configuration, offering optimized rotor mechanics to maintain stability under high continuous gas loads. It comes equipped with a DN 100 ISO-K high-vacuum inlet flange and a standard DN 25 ISO-KF fore-vacuum exhaust port.

Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Throughput Configuration: The "H" designation marks specialized rotor geometry designed to safely process higher volume mass flow streams without stalling.
-
Premium Hybrid Bearings: Delivers ultra-clean vacuum conditions due to the touch-free upper magnetic bearing, while the rugged ceramic lower bearing ensures dependable alignment under load.
-
Rapid Cycle Times: Reaches a nominal rotational velocity of 60,000 rpm in just 1.6 minutes, minimizing process downtime.
-
Flexible Thermal Management: Operates reliably with passive convection or can be integrated with accessory water-cooling blocks or forced-air fan units for high gas throughput operations.
-
Industrial Compatibility: Pairs perfectly with standard external drive units like the TC 600, allowing easy drop-in replacement on older automated equipment tracks.
