Pfeiffer TMU 262

This used Pfeiffer TMU 262 is a turbomolecular pump built around full magnetic bearing technology, offering oil free, low vibration high vacuum performance for sensitive laboratory and analytical instruments. It is widely used in mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, and thin film deposition systems where contamination free vacuum is essential. This unit has been pulled from active service and is being offered in used, functional condition. The magnetic bearing design of the TMU 262 virtually eliminates the need for lubricants, reducing maintenance downtime and helping preserve sensitive chamber environments from hydrocarbon contamination. Its compact footprint and standard flange options allow it to slot into a wide range of existing systems, and it pairs well with Pfeiffer TC controllers for straightforward operation. Users in research and semiconductor adjacent fields often prefer this model for its low noise and long service life between overhauls. For buyers upgrading legacy vacuum systems or seeking a dependable spare, this TMU 262 offers solid value compared to new equipment pricing. It is well suited to labs running continuous or semi continuous high vacuum processes that cannot tolerate particulate or oil contamination. As with all used turbo pumps, verifying bearing health and rotor condition before installation is advised.
