PUMP USED IN PRESENCE OF MAGNETIC
FIELDS
Magnetic fields induce eddy currents in the rotor of
a turbomolecular pump that tend to oppose to its
rotation.
The result is increased electrical power consump-
tion by the motor, most of which is dissipated in the
rotor.
Since the rotor is not in contact with the stator the
above power can leave the rotor mainly by radia-
tion and hence the rotor may be overheated while
static parts of the pump remain cool.
This effect is strongly dependant from the intensity,
time function and distribution of the magnetic field.
In general, therefore, an increase in pump current
can be expected.
If this increase is lower than 50% of the current
value drawn by the motor in high vacuum opera-
tion, no particular problem should be expected.
However if the effect is grater, than the case
should be carefully reviewed by Varian's specialist.
As a matter of fact, in case of high magnetic fields,
also important forces might be generated and ap-
plied to the rotor.
