What Are Vacuum Chambers Used For?
Vacuum chambers are sealed enclosures used to maintain controlled vacuum environments by removing air and other gases. They are used across a variety of industries for projects that require demanding contamination control, exceptional cleanliness, and precise pressure conditions.While available in standard configurations, vacuum chambers are often customized or built to specific dimensions and shapes to support specific requirements. They are made from several components, including: These components make up assemblies for surface analysis chambers and custom chambers and are critical for operational success. At Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions, we design and manufacture vacuum chambers to support high performance, cleanliness, and precision for demanding vacuum applications.

What are the advantages of a Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions vacuum chamber?
We know vacuum. All of our chambers are fabricated in-house by world-class vacuum welders. Because our chambers are manufactured in-house, we have control at every step of the fabrication process: design, manufacturing, electropolishing, RGA scans, bakeouts, vacuum testing, and shipping.How can I reduce the cost of a custom vacuum chamber?
Every custom-made chamber is designed to your unique application requirements, goals, and specifications. Pfeiffer’s team of engineers will work with you throughout the entire process to ensure your design balances performance with the best overall value. Factors that can contribute to optimizing costs include:- Reduce the tolerances on the drawing. Tighter tolerances = more production time and higher cost. Simply changing the default tolerance values in your CAD program can reduce costs immediately.
- Use standard components instead of custom-drawn parts. Standard off-the-shelf parts cost less. Working with standard fittings, tubing, elbows, and diameters will reduce the amount of custom work required on a chamber.
