Preface This manual provides the information you need to successfully perform tip seal replacement on your Vacuum Technologies TriScroll TM Dry Vacuum Pump. Tip seal replacement is generally is recommended when the pump base pressure has risen to an unacceptably high level for your application. If you have questions that are not addressed in this manual, please contact the nearest Vacuum Technologies service facility listed on the rear cover of this manual. Safety Considerations READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS. The following format is used in this manual to call attention to hazards: WARNING CAUTION NOTE The warning messages are for attracting the attention of the operator to a particular procedure or practice which, if not followed correctly, could lead to serious injury. The caution messages are displayed before procedures, which if not followed, could cause damage to the equipment. The notes contain important information taken from the text. Maintenance personnel must be aware of all hazards associated with this equipment. They must know how to recognize hazardous and potentially hazardous conditions, and know how to avoid them. The consequences of work performed by unskilled or improperly trained maintenance personnel, or careless operation of the equipment employed in the specified maintenance procedures can be serious. Every maintenance person must read and thoroughly understand the materials discussed and the instructions provided in this manual, as well as any additional information provided by Vacuum Technologies. vi

All warnings and cautions must be read carefully, fully understood, and strictly observed. Consult local, state/province, and national agencies regarding specific requirements and regulations. Address any safety, operation, and/or maintenance questions to the nearest Vacuum Technologies location. WARNING Disconnect power from the TriScroll 600 before performing any maintenance procedure. Allow the pump to cool before performing any maintenance procedure. Approximate cool-down time is one to two hours. CAUTION Wipe all O-rings clean with a lint-free cloth before installation to ensure that no foreign matter is present to impair the seal. Do not use alcohol, methanol or other solvents on O-rings. To do so causes deterioration and reduces their ability to hold a vacuum. If applicable, apply a small amount of Krytox GPL 224 grease and wipe the O-rings shiny dry. NOTE Vacuum Technologies recommends replacing all O-rings during routine maintenance or during any maintenance procedure requiring that O-rings be removed. WARNING The TriScroll 600 weighs 32 kg (70 lbs). To avoid injury, use proper lifting techniques when moving the pump. vii

Tip Seal Replacement General Information Vacuum Technologies TriScroll 600 series pumps will provide years of trouble-free service if maintenance procedures and intervals are observed. Bearing grease replenishment and tip seal replacement is recommended when the pump base pressure rises to an unacceptably high level for your application. Replace bearings, rotary seals and O-rings if the pump bearings exhibit humming or grinding noises. Main bearing life may be shortened if your application requires the pumping of high quantities of water vapor. Use bearing purge to keep this water from impacting bearing life. Required Equipment Tip Seal Replacement Kit: PTSS0600TS ( Tip Seal Replacement Kit on page 2) Tip Seal Tool Kit: PTSTSTKIT ( Tip Seal Tool Kit on page 3; customer can supply metric Allen wrench set and chisel). Vacuum Measuring Gauge: Capable of measuring pressures of 5 to 20 mtorr with an accuracy of ± 1 mtorr. A capacitance manometer or Pirani gauge is recommended. 1

Install the outboard housing over the orbiting plate and against the inboard housing, engaging the dowel pins and all the sync cranks. NOTE Orient the sync cranks and the orbiting plate in the downward position before installing the outboard housing. 23. Secure the outboard housing to the inboard housing with the six M6x55 screws. 17

TriScroll 600 Reassembly (Continued) 24. Install the cowling over the pump module. 25. Secure with the three M5x16 screws. 18

TriScroll 600 Reassembly (Continued) 26. Lightly grease the new 2-127 O-ring and insert it into the groove on the intake fitting. 27. Place the intake fitting assembly into the outboard housing. 28. Secure the fitting with the two M5x16 screws. 19

TriScroll 600 Reassembly (Continued) This figure illustrates a fully reassembled TriScroll 600 Series Pump. Put the Pump Back into Service The TriScroll 600 pump can be placed into service immediately after maintenance is complete. However, 24 hours of run time is required before base pressure of 7 mtorr can be achieved. NOTE The 24 hour run time does not have to be continuous. If your application requires a low base pressure, it is wise to run the pump for the 24-hour period for optimum performance. 20
