Clean Motor operates in vacuum environments

Haydonkerk Motion Solutions has introduced the Clean Motor product, which limits contaminants and out gassing in vacuum environments.

Haydonkerk's Clean Motors are designed for contamination-sensitive applications, cleanroom environments and environments within systems under high vacuum.

Haydon Clean Motors survive in a vacuum down to 10-8 Torr, provided the motor operates below its rated maximum operating temperature.

To ensure the minimum amount of out gas in a vacuum environment, the Clean Motor undergoes special handling and uses parts fabricated in a proprietary process.

Clean Motors are made of non-volatile materials, thoroughly cleaned using ultrasonic equipment and then vacuum-baked at high temperature to extract contaminants.

Haydon Clean Motors contain Teflon wires, high-temperature windings and specially lubricated stainless-steel bearings.

Out gassing is caused by dirty motors, which can result from the slightest contact with a human hand.

The Haydon Clean Motor products are processed to consider all possible contamination sources and are then sealed in double bags for handling under clean-room protocols.
