UHV-Leakvalve Automatic 2x VCR 1/4″
The steppermotor driven valve allows the automation of the gasdosing process. By means of the steppermotor driven UHV Gasdosing Valve closed loop control of gas flow or pressure in all vacuum areas from low, fine and high to ultrahigh vacuum is possible.
Key Features
- VCR 1/4″ flanges on both sides
- Bakeable up to 300°C (Motor can stay on the valve, but must not be heated)
- Metallic seal gold-plated
- Stepper motor driven with controller
- Visual position indicator
- Step Resolution 1.000.000 with encoder feedback
- Analog-Input (0-10V): Remote sensors (pressure, flow) for closed loop control. Remote sensors are not included.
- Digital-Input (USB, Ethernet, Modbus): Via Remote Computer
- Software-Updates via Network (Ethernet) or USB.

Gas Dosing Properties
Closing And Opening
- Idealized measurement protocol: The valve is closed from position 1,000,000 to position 0 and then opened again. The red curve is the closing curve and green is the open curve.
- The first 300,000 steps the diaphragm does not touch the valve seat.
- When used in room temperature control between 10-9 and 10-10 is not possible due to physical restrictions (red area in diagram). However, it is possible when heating the valve body.
- Maximum throughput is 60 mbar.l/s.
Automatically set different leakrates
Actual measurement protocol: Different leakrates (flow, throughput) are being automatically set and held for 20 seconds.
