Ultra high vacuum pumps TiTan ion pumps, NEG pumps and TSPs
Leybold has incorporated Gamma Vacuum products into its product portfolio which allows for equipping UHV applications.
This enables us not only to measure ultra-high vacuum pressures, but also to provide them and take advantage of ion pump properties like the superior hydrogen pumping speed as well as hydrocarbon-free and vibration-free vacuum.
As a full supplier we support and service Gamma products around the globe.
Gamma Vacuum specializes in the design, manufacture and distribution of ion and titanium sublimation pumps as well as NEG pumps and their combinations, serving customers across a diverse range of scientific applications, including R&D and High Energy Physics.
The company provides solutions for any UHV application; comprising ion pumps, non-evaporable getter (NEG) pumps, titanium sublimation pumps (TSP) and their respective controllers.
All the equipment, including the necessary high-voltage or high-current cables, are manufactured at Gamma Vacuum, Shakopee, USA.
Gamma Vacuum also provides pump combinations such as ion pumps with integrated NEG pumps. Their electronics department develops and produces the broadest controller range, with smart controllers that can operate ion pumps that easily fit into your pocket, up to powerful controllers capable of operating several ion pumps that would not fit into your car.
Besides off-the-shelf products, Gamma Vacuum customizes its products to a huge degree.
HyTan NEG-Ion Combination Pumps
Combining NEG and ion pump technology into a compact UHV pump with exchangeable modules, ideal for applications where space is restricted and versatility is a must.
- Versatile – a choice of 6 NEG, and 6 ion pump modules, delivering hydrogen pumping speeds from 100 – 500 l/s.
- Customizable – replaceable noble and conventional diode elements, 2 ion pump feedthrough options, and exchangeable modules this UHV pump supports a diverse range of applications.
- Compact – significantly smaller than legacy products, the HyTan NEG-Ion Pump can even be installed inside your chamber for maximum space efficiency.
- Efficient - low power consumption and replaceable parts help reduce your UHV pumps footprint and overall cost of ownership.
Ø36 mm:The smallest pump diameter, offering hydrogen pumping speeds ranging from 110 to 750 l/s. The pump is equipped with an ion pump providing either 1 or 3 l/s pumping speed. Due to its compact size, and the option of assembling the pump inside a chamber, the HyTan NEG-Ion Pump is a perfect fit for UHV environments where space is restricted.
Ø98 mm: A larger-diameter pump consisting of six NEG cartridges combined with an ion pump module delivering up to 20 l/s nitrogen pumping speed. Its modular design allows easy upgrading from a pure NEG pump to a NEG-ion pump, or vice versa, providing maximum flexibility for future system requirements.

Large HyTan NEG Pump
Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) pumps are ultra and extreme high vacuum (UHV/XHV) pumps designed to remove hydrogen and other reactive gases such as nitrogen or oxygen.
A specific combination of Zirconium, Vanadium and Iron have been found to work best for HV and UHV environments. The amount of material used controls the speed and capacity of the NEG pump, but typically range from 55 to 412 l/s and capacity from 630 to 3600 Torr l/s.
As NEG’s become saturated with gases, they can be reactivated without venting to atmosphere.
The NEG Pumps come in 2 variantions that cover a broad range of performance requirements:
The compact 1 NEG cartridge pump, 34 mm diameter, installed on a DN CF40 flange, and provides hydrogen pumping speeds from 55 to 470 l/s, using either pressed or sintered NEG materials to meet specific application and lifetime needs.
The large 6 NEG cartridge pump, 96 mm diameter, complements the compact range offered by Gamma Vacuum, with its proven HyTan NEG pump design.
These pumps use a 96 mm diameter NEG section and deliver 725 to 2000 l/s hydrogen pumping speed. HyTan NEG pumps are available with DN CF100 or DN CF160 flanges and incorporate an optimized heat shield structure that ensures superior thermal distribution during activation and consistently high pumping performance.
The modular design also allows convenient upgrading to a HyTan NEG-Ion pump.
