Which vacuum pump do I need?

Here’s a general overview of which vacuum pumps are best suited for our vacuum tables. These recommendations are based on our in-house experience and aligned with our current pump range.

Please note: actual requirements may vary depending on your specific application and machining process.

As a rule of thumb in vacuum clamping: bigger is better.

Our recommendations assume that the vacuum table will be used on a CNC milling machine for typical operations like routing, drilling, or engraving.

Side channel blowers offer high air volume and are suitable for most vacuum tables. However, they operate at a relatively low vacuum level and are not ideal for holding small or delicate parts.

If your application involves minimal or no leakage, smaller vacuum generators—than those listed—may also be sufficient.

Still unsure? We’re happy to advise.
