Kinney® KC™ rotary piston vacuum pumps achieve the lowest possible pressures from mechanical pumps and are recommended for applications where the operating pressure is below 0.1 Torr (0.13 mbar).
With no metal-to-metal contact from the clearances being filled with oil, these two-stage pumps are extremely rugged and reliable.
Adjustable gas ballast valves are included as standard equipment for handling water and other vapor loads.
