Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 in. Gate Valve Adapter Plate Kit ISO-F 63. This is an ISO-F 63 gate valve adapter plate kit for the 6 x 6 Ideal Vacuum Cube. This adapter allows the compact connection of an ISO-F 63 gate valve (with tapped mounting holes) to an Ideal Vacuum Cube™, without additional plumbing or fittings. The adapter consists of two plates. One plate has our patented Taper-Seal™ O-ring seal and is mounted to the Cube frame. The other plate is mounted to the gate valve’s threaded flange. An ISO 63 centering ring with O-ring is sandwiched between the two plates which are then screwed together to make the seal. This adapter kit can be used to isolate a turbomolecular pump from the chamber. It creates the shortest possible pumping path for maximum high vacuum performance. Another use for the gate valve adapter kit is to join two Cubes together in load lock applications. Two adapter kits are required, one on each side of the gate valve. When two cubes are joined with a gate valve between them, one Cube can be used as an antechamber to transfer materials from ambient atmosphere into the other which remains under vacuum. Similarly, when two Cubes of differing sizes are joined with a gate valve between them, the system can be used for explosive decompression testing. Here, the larger Cube decompresses the smaller Cube. It is best to use a pneumatic gate valve since it opens more rapidly than a manually operated one. Please download the gate valve adapter kit user manual for installation instructions.

Ideal Vacuum UltraLock High Vacuum HV Pneumatic Gate Valve ISO-F DN 63 Flange, Ball Groove Locking, Viton Seals, 304 Stainless Steel. ISO-63 Bolt Down Flange with M8 x 1.25 Threads. Includes Reed Switch Position Indicators. These Ideal Vacuum UltraLock™ pneumatically operated gate valves have an ISO-F DN 63 vacuum flange with M8 x 1.25 blind-tapped holes. They are rated for high vacuum (HV) and follow vacuum technology standards as described in DIN 28404 and ISO 1609. Our new UltraLock series of premium pneumatically operated vacuum gate valves are built using an innovative ball-and-groove locking mechanism which keeps the valve locked closed during loss of power or air pressure, while reducing wear and extending operating life. These UltraLock gate valves have a typical life of 300,000 cycles before needing service and are made with corrosion resistant 304 stainless-steel gates and valve bodies. An easily visible external position indicator and position sensor switches are standard on all pneumatic UltraLock gate valves.UltraLock Locking Mechanism: Our UltraLock high vacuum gate valves employ an ingenious ball-and-groove mechanism to lock the valve. Inside the valve body is a rolling carriage with lubricated ball bearings on which the gate is attached. When the valve is actuated, the carriage and gate are slid towards the vacuum port until the carriage reaches the end of the valve body. This positions the gate concentric to the port. Continued pressure on the carriage causes a set of stainless-steel balls, riding in a decreasing depth groove between the carriage and the gate, to exert outward pressure on the gate. This outward force pushes the gate into its closed position. A leak-tight seal is obtained as the outward pressure forces the gate’s O-ring seal to be pressed against the valve body’s sealing surface. It is common for these valves to achieve an extended life of 300,000 cycles before service is needed. UHV vs HV Versions: Our Conflat CF flanged gate valves are UHV rated. The bellows are welded to the bonnet plate, and oxygen-free, high-thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper sealing gaskets and flange knife-edges form the required metal-to-metal seal between the bonnet plate and valve body. Our Conflat UHV UltraLock valves have a low leak rate of < 3.75 x 10-10 Torr l/sec and are bakeable up to 200 °C with the gate open (150°C with the gate closed). Our KF and ISO-F flanged gate valves use Viton O-rings for the bellows and bonnet plate seals and are therefore limited to high-vacuum (HV) applications with ultimate pressures down to 3x10-8 Torr. KF and ISO-F series UltraLock valves have a leak rate of 1.5 x 10-9 Torr l/sec and are bakeable to 150 °C (with the valve open or closed). Position Indicators: All of our UltraLock series of pneumatic gate valves include a visible external position indicator - the white ring conveniently mounted below the pneumatic piston. Pneumatic UltraLock gate valves also include open and closed reed sensor switches which are mounted on the valve’s pneumatic cylinder. These switches can be used to activate indicator lights or used to control a more complex or automated vacuum protection system. Solenoid Valves: We offer solenoid kits for pneumatic valves in voltages of 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and 120 VAC. Solenoid kits are sold separately and include the solenoid valve, mounting bracket with fasteners used to attach the solenoid to the gate valve’s bonnet flange, and flexible 1/4” OD airlines to connect between the push-to-connect fittings on the gate valve’s pneumatic cylinder and the solenoid valve. Specifications: Our Ideal Vacuum UltraLock gate valves are designed for dependable High and Ultra- High Vacuum (UHV) applications and are often used in combination with cryo, turbo, and ion high vacuum pumps. Available sizes include Conflat CF 2.75, 4.5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inch sizes; ISO-F DN -63, -100, -160, -200, -250, -320, -400, -500, and -630 sizes; and quick flanged sizes KF-40 and KF-50.

ISO 63 Centering Ring Aluminum with Viton® O-Ring, NW-63 Vacuum Flange Size, Typically Used With 2.5 Inch O.D. (63.50 mm) Tubing. These ISO DN 63 centering rings are made of aluminum with durable Viton® (FPM) rubber O-rings and are used to seal both ISO-K and ISO-F vacuum flanges. These centering rings follow vacuum technology standards as described in DIN 28404 and ISO 1609. The centering ring which contains a rubber elastomeric O-ring forms the vacuum seal between the two mating ISO-K or ISO-F flange faces. ISO-K fittings are quick to assemble using claw clamps (please see figure - click to enlarge) and can be connected together in any orientation. The claw clamp hooks into a ridged groove in the back side of the ISO-K flange. ISO-F fixed flange vacuum fittings are different and have a bolt circle where bolts align the two flanges. These ISO 63 centering rings are commonly used to build process vacuum plumbing and systems for industrial standard and high vacuum applications. The ISO standard sizes for large LF flanges are ISO-F and ISO-K DN 63, 80, 100, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1000.

They are properly sized for connecting ISO-F 63 hole through flanges and fittings to the threaded holes in ISO 63 gate valves. Gate valves have standardized flange, thread, and thread depth specifications. These bolt kits are correct for connecting any gate valve of this flange type and size to an unthreaded flange of the same size, no matter the manufacturer. A centering ring with O-ring seal is required and sold separately (part number P101761). The length of the bolts in this kit are specially measured so they tighten ISO-F to ISO-F flanges fully but don’t bottom out in the blind threaded holes of the gate valve’s flange. The bolts are silver plated to prevent galling or seizing of the bolts and to make them easier to loosen, especially if they have been heated to bakeout temperatures. If the gate valve is to be connected/adapted to an ISO-K type flange, such as might be found on a turbo pump, single claw clamps with longer bolts and centering rings are required.
