Specifying vacuum pumps to lift a particular component in an assembly operation is something of a black art. This variable vacuum pump affords a practical solution to this problem.
The nickel plated brass and acetal fittings also handle up to 10 bar pressure and are suitable for vacuum applications to -0.9 bar.
Threads are available from M5 to G1/2in taking tube diameters from 4mm to 12mm.
