Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 x 6 in. Aluminum Vacuum Chamber Frame. This is a 6 x 6 x 6 inch bare vacuum Cube frame, the core of an Ideal Vacuum Cube modular chamber. It is machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum so there are no welds to leak or break. Inner frame dimensions are 4.1 x 4.1 x 4.1 inches. A Cube plate, with or without ports, is mounted to each of the six frame sides with 1/4"-20 stainless steel screws. The frame has drilled and tapped holes which accept the mounting screws. Once all six plates are installed, the chamber is complete. The plates can be removed, replaced, or reused as needed to reconfigure the chamber to new requirements. Mounting holes are reinforced with stainless steel inserts so Cube plates can be swapped without fear of damaging the frame. This frame allows a user to build a 6 x 6 x 6 modular Cube chamber from scratch. Please see our other listings for a variety of 6 x 6 x 6 in. preconfigured chamber development kits. A complete 6 x 6 x 6 chamber requires: Cube frame 6 x 6 x 6 Cube hardware kit (P107293) Six Cube plates Optional accessories including feet, viewing windows and doors, thermal, and optical plates Please download the Cube plate installation manual for installation instructions. Use the Cube plate maintenance and service toolkit (P1010554) to assemble a Cube.

Ideal Vacuum Cube Coupling Kit Joins Two 6 x 6 in. Cube Frame Faces, Includes Hardware and Seals. This 6 x 6” Cube coupling kit allows two Cube frames to be tightly joined face-to-face on their 6 x 6” faces without any intermediate plumbing or fittings. Same sized Cube faces can be coupled. For example, a 6 x 6 x 6” Cube frame can be directly coupled to a 6 x 6 x 6” frame or a 6 x 6 x 12” frame, as long as they are coupled on the 6 x 6” side. The coupling kit consists of a 6061-T6 aluminum Cube frame coupler with two O-rings, and several 304L stainless steel barrel type, coupling draw bolts. The frame coupler is sandwiched between the two Cube frames and acts just like a flange centering ring. The coupler makes the seal between the two Cube frames and uses the patented Ideal Vacuum Taper-Seal™ design. The draw bolts rigidly clamp the two Cube frames together. The number of chamber configurations possible with Cube coupling kits is virtually limitless. Long, odd-shaped, and multi-Cube chambers are easy to construct with this accessory. Please download the Cube coupling kit user manual for installation instructions. Features: Couples two 6" x 6" Cube faces No extra tubing or fittings needed Includes dual O-ring frame coupler Includes 4 draw bolts Mounts in any orientation Can join these Cube frames on 6 x 6” face: 6 x 6 x 6 6 x 6 x 12 6 x 6 x 6 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 octagon

Ideal Vacuum Cube Replacement Barrel Type Coupling Draw Bolt. This Ideal Vacuum Cube barrel type coupling draw bolt is used to join together the frames of two separate vacuum cubes to form a larger vacuum chamber configuration. A quantity of at least four draw bolts are needed to join two 6 x 6 x 6" Cubes. Larger Cube sizes require more draw bolts. This is a quantity of 1 replacement draw bolt with nut and made of 304L stainless steel. Use it as a replacement for a lost or damaged one.

Ideal Vacuum Cube Extra Long Barrel Type Coupling Draw Bolt for Coupling Cube Frames with a Plate Adapter In Between. Extra Long Ideal Vacuum Cube barrel type coupling draw bolts are used to join the frames of two Cubes when there is a plate adapter between them. A quantity of at least four draw bolts are needed to join two 6 x 6 x 6 Cubes. Larger Cube sizes require more draw bolts. This is a quantity of 1 extra long draw bolt with nut and made of 304L stainless steel.

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. Features: 6" x 6" plate size Uncoated 6061-T6 aluminum Connects ISO-F 63 gate valve to 6 x 6 Cube face Shortest possible pumping path for maximum performance No extra tubing or fittings needed Hardware included Mounts in any orientation Directly mounts to frame size: 6 x 6 x 6 6 x 6 x 12 6 x 12 x 12 6 x 6 x 6 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 octagon

Ideal Vacuum Cube Conductance Limiting Coupler Kit Joins Two 6 x 6 in. Cube Frame Faces. This 6 x 6” Cube conductance limiting coupler kit allows two Cube frames to be tightly joined face-to-face on their 6 x 6” faces with a conductance-limiting orifice between them. A diagram of how to use this coupler is shown as the second image above. This kit consists of a 6061-T6 aluminum Cube conductance limiting frame coupler with two O-rings, several 304L stainless steel barrel type, coupling draw bolts, and the hardware and seal needed to mount a conductance limiting orifice insert plate. The frame coupler is sandwiched between the two Cube frames and acts just like a flange centering ring. The coupler makes the seal between the two Cube frames and uses the patented Ideal Vacuum Taper-Seal™ design. The draw bolts rigidly clamp the two Cube frames together. The frame coupler has a full orifice diameter of 2 inches. Restrictive inserts are available with orifices of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm diameter. These smaller orifices greatly restrict the flow of gas between the two coupled vacuum chambers. This coupler kit combined with an orifice plate allows two chambers to be held at different vacuum levels with a slow flow of gas between them. Due to the long path length of the orifice relative to the orifice diameter, the gas exits the lower pressure side as a tightly focused beam. Applications include calibration of precision valves and flowmeters, residual gas analysis, and molecular beam spectroscopy.
