Product Description
  • Screw Material: 316 Stainless Steel
  • M4/M6 set screws and hex socket head cap screws with vent holes
  • Can be directly applied in a vacuum environment of 10^(-6) Torr (approximately 10^-4 Pa) at 23°C
  • After baking at 110°C for 5 hours, can be applied in a vacuum environment of 10^(-9) Torr (approximately 10^-7 Pa) at 23°C
  • All components are shipped in double-layer vacuum bags for cleanroom use
The M4/M6 vacuum-compatible hex socket head cap screws and set screws provided by LBTEK feature additional vent holes in their structure compared to ordinary screws, along with special processing techniques, giving the VSS series advantages suitable for vacuum environments. The vent holes in vacuum screws allow gas in blind holes to be rapidly evacuated under vacuum conditions, preventing gas accumulation in enclosed threaded holes that would otherwise hinder achieving ideal vacuum levels. The VSS series adopts a unique vacuum structural design. At 23°C, they can be directly used in a 10^(-6) Torr vacuum environment after unpacking. For applications in vacuum environments ranging from 10^(-6) Torr to 10^(-9) Torr, it is recommended to bake the product at 110°C for 5 hours before use to remove any attached grease or moisture. Note: VSS products are pre-baked before leaving the factory, which may result in varying degrees of light yellow discoloration. This appearance is normal and does not affect vacuum performance. Avoid contact with greasy or moist objects when using this product series.

Vacuum-compatible gasket
  • Material: 316 Stainless Steel
  • Vacuum-Compatible Gasket
  • Directly applicable in 10^(-6) Torr vacuum environments

The vacuum-compatible spacers provided by LBTEK undergo special treatment before packaging. In a vacuum environment of 23℃, they can be directly applied to a vacuum of 10^(-6) Torr upon unpacking. For applications in vacuum environments ranging from 10^(-6) Torr to 10^(-9) Torr, it is recommended to bake them at 110℃ for 5 hours before use to remove any grease and moisture adhering to the lens mount. Note that when using the gaskets, the rough side should face the screw, while the smooth side should face the object being clamped.
