How Much Does TMU 261 P Cost in 2026?

Used TMU 261 P turbomolecular pumps in 2026 range from $1,880 to $7,980, depending on condition and source. Refurbished units typically fall between $3,200 and $5,400, while used units with visible wear (Grade B) start at $1,880. Savings vs. new OEM list price (approx. $15,000–$20,000) are 50–70%, reflecting 2026 market trends. Condition Grade B units may have limited bearing wear or minor seal degradation, but no major mechanical failures. Avoid units with CF100 flange misalignment (part number CF100-0234) or rotor imbalance. Prices are volatile in 2026 due to oversupply from legacy tool retirements, but sourcing leads to 2–4 weeks of lead time. Always verify pump age and maintenance logs before purchase. 2026 pricing reflects a 15% annual decline from 2025 levels, driven by increased used part availability.

TMU 261 P Specifications and Compatible Tools

The TMU 261 P operates at 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase power, delivering 170 l/s at 200 Pa. It uses a CF100 flange (part number CF100-0234) and requires 24V DC auxiliary power for rotor lock. Compatible tools include AMAT Endura PVD (model 1100, 2010–2015), Lam SPEED CVD (model 2000, 2012–2018), and Various loadlock and transfer chambers (e.g., Applied Materials’ TEL-500). Avoid using with Pfeiffer TMU 261 P with CF100-0234 flange on tools requiring CF100-0235. Always confirm flange compatibility before installation. 2026 data shows 30% of units are sourced from AMAT Endura PVD retirements. Power requirements must match local grid specs; mismatched voltage causes immediate motor failure.

What to Check Before Buying a Used TMU 261 P in 2026

Verify rotor alignment using a laser alignment tool (tolerance: <0.05mm). Misalignment >0.1mm requires rotor replacement.
Test bearing wear with a micrometer: radial runout >0.02mm or axial play >0.01mm invalidates the unit.
Inspect CF100 flange for cracks or warping using a dial indicator (deflection >0.01mm is critical).
Check rotor balance with a vibration meter: >1.5 mm/s RMS vibration at 100 Hz indicates imbalance.
Confirm pump age and maintenance history: units over 10 years old (2016–2026) require full rebuild. 2026 data shows 60% of Grade B units are 8–12 years old.

Avoid units with unverified maintenance records. 2026 buyers should prioritize pumps with documented 2018–2020 service intervals. Always request original Pfeiffer service logs for 2026 verification.

FAQ

Q: Can I use a TMU 261 P with CF100-0234 flange on a Lam SPEED CVD 2000?
A: No. CF100-0234 is incompatible with Lam SPEED CVD 2000, which requires CF100-0235. Use a TMU 261 P with CF100-0235 or a CF100 adapter.

Q: What’s the difference between used and refurbished TMU 261 P in 2026?
A: Used units (Grade B) have visible wear but functional components; refurbished units include full rebuild with new bearings and seals. Refurbished units cost 30–50% more than used.

Q: How long does it take to source a TMU 261 P in 2026?
A: 2–4 weeks after sourcing, depending on location. 2026 lead times are 10–15% longer than 2025 due to increased supplier inventory.

Q: Can a TMU 261 P from 2015 work on a 2026 AMAT Endura PVD?
A: Yes, but
