This Edwards nEXT85D turbo pump package deal with KF-40 inlet flange has a pumping speed of 61 l/s and an ultimate pressure of 10^-8 Torr). Included are a TAG (turbo & active gauge) controller with large LED display to show the pump's speed or vacuum pressure, along with its power supply and AC power cord, which can power the nEXT85D turbo pump and a vacuum gauge. This package also includes a forced air-cooling kit to keep the turbo pump running cool. The fan can be mounted either in a radial or axial orientation. It plugs into the pump's accessory port and is powered by the pump. This turbo pump package deal does not include the roughing pump, roughing lines, vacuum chamber, pressure measurement gauges, or vent valves. Some upgrades might include: a TIC controller and TIC relay box to provide better system automation & control, a water-cooling kit, and extension cables to extend the distance between the pump, power supply, and controller. All these items are available and sold separately by Ideal Vacuum.

About the nEXT85D turbo pump with KF-40 flange
Edwards nEXT85D turbomolecular high vacuum pumps with a KF-40 inlet flange have a pumping speed of 61 liters per second (l/s) and an ultimate pressure of 10^-8 Torr. This nEXT85D pump has an included inlet screen and an ISO KF-16 exhaust foreline flange. The nEXT85D series turbo pumps require 24 to 48 VDC input power at a maximum of 120 Watts (normal operation is typically less than 80 Watts). A permanently attached DB15 combination power and control cable is standard on the pump. All nEXT85D turbo pumps have a compact onboard controller with RS232, RS485, & USB interfaces, five status LED's, and the possibility to control either an air-cooling fan or solenoid vent valve ( a "Y" connector is available for connecting both a fan and valve). The USB port allows the use of Edwards nST2 PC software (free download from link below). This nEXT85D turbo pump has Edwards part number B8G210A01.

About the TAG (turbo and active gauge) controller
The Edwards TAG (turbo & active gauge) controller comes with a 200-Watt external power supply and 2 meter long 115 VAC US power cord (5-15P to C13 connectors). The TAG is a small low-cost 24 VDC pumping system controller, is ideal for use on benchtops or mobile platforms where space is limited, and is suitable for a wide range of vacuum applications. The TAG provides a serial interface for displaying the turbo pump's speed, can power the nEXT85D, nEXT240D, nEXT300D, or nEXT400D turbo pumps, and can control an Edwards APG, AIM, ASG, or WRG vacuum gauge. The TAG's push button interface allows the user to easily switch between pump speed or vacuum pressure, shown on the large LED display. The Edwards part number for this TAG controller is D39592000 and its power supply is D39592800.

About the ACX85 combination radial/axial air-cooling kit
The ACX85 forced air-cooling kit is specifically designed for nEXT85D turbo pumps. This kit can be either axially or radially mounted and has a 0.3 meter long power cable terminated with an accessory port connector. The fan plugs into the pump's accessory port and is powered by the pump. This kit includes all the necessary hardware to mount the fan in either orientation. When mounted axially, the fan unit mounts to the bottom of the pump and provides forced air flow colinear to the pump’s shaft. When mounted radially, the fan unit mounts to the side of, and provides forced air flow perpendicular to, the pump. This Edwards combination axial/radial forced air-cooling kit has part number B8G200820.
