Turbomolecular pumps (TMPs)

Turbomolecular pumps (TMPs) are kinetic vacuum pumps which operate using a very fast spinning rotor (usually rotating at between 24,000 and 90,000 RPM). Their typical operating pressures are in the high to ultra-high-pressure range between 10^-3 and 10^-11 mbar, employing pumping speeds of between 10 and 4,000 l/s.

They are widely used in scientific and industrial applications that require precise and clean vacuum environments, such as surface
