Transfer Through the Vacuum Boundary

The hardware that connects the process inside the chamber to everything outside it

A vacuum chamber still needs electrical power, sensor signals, cooling water, process gas, mechanical motion and service access. Feedthroughs and fittings transfer those functions through a sealed boundary, while flanges, adapters, plates and manifolds connect pumps, valves, sources and process hardware without compromising vacuum integrity.

Magnetic assemblies add another critical layer. Beam-bending magnets, sweep coils, source magnets and related hardware shape or move energy inside deposition equipment and must work with the source geometry, power supply, cooling and controls.

This page is the equipment hub. It explains the hardware families, interfaces and connected system architecture. Detailed machining, welding, fabrication, repair, chamber modification and stocked-parts services remain on their dedicated YTI pages.

Equipment Lifecycle

From identifying one interface to redesigning the complete connection

01

Identify & Match

Use labels, measurements, photos, ratings, port geometry and system context to confirm the existing part or compatible replacement.

Request identification support →
02

Stock & Replace

Source standard, refurbished or performance-verified feedthroughs, fittings, seals and hardware for maintenance or production recovery.

View stocking support →
03

Repair or Fabricate

Repair, machine, weld, braze, solder, duplicate, adapt or build the interface when the original component is damaged or unavailable.

View custom fabrication →
04

Integrate & Verify

Install the hardware as part of a chamber modification, connect utilities and controls, then support fitment, leak checks and startup.

Answers

Feedthrough, magnet and vacuum fitting FAQs

What equipment is covered on this feedthroughs, magnets and vacuum fittings page?
This equipment hub covers electrical, signal, high-voltage, fluid, gas, cooling and rotary feedthroughs; beam-bending and sweep magnet assemblies; vacuum flanges, adapters, plates, fittings, manifolds, tubing and related chamber-interface hardware.
Is this the custom fabrication service page?
No. This page explains the equipment families and how they fit into a vacuum system. Use Cold Trap, Feedthrough & Flange Fabrication for a custom or obsolete component, Custom Machining, Welding & Vacuum Fabrication for a broader fabrication project, or Component Stocking when you need an available replacement part or critical spare.
Which manufacturers does YTI support for feedthroughs and source hardware?
YTI supports many Temescal, Telemark, Sloan, Parker and YTI configurations, plus other current, legacy, discontinued and mixed-brand vacuum hardware. Exact support depends on the part function, dimensions, sealing interface, ratings and chamber application.
What information is needed to identify or replace a vacuum feedthrough?
Send the manufacturer and part number if available, flange or port size, mounting pattern, conductor count, voltage and current, signal type, fluid or gas service, tubing size, pressure and temperature, motion requirement, materials, photos, measurements and the connected chamber equipment.
Can YTI fabricate a replacement for an obsolete feedthrough or flange?
Often, yes. YTI can review a failed sample, drawing, photo, field measurements or system requirements and determine whether repair, duplication, adaptation, machining, welding, brazing, soldering or a redesigned replacement is the practical path.
Can feedthrough and flange work be combined with chamber modifications?
Yes. New ports, adapter plates, feedthrough locations, source mounts, manifolds, pump interfaces, cooling connections and service-access changes can be handled as part of a larger chamber repurpose, rebuild or process-conversion project.
Does YTI offer standard electrical, fluid and rotary feedthroughs?
YTI publishes electrical, fluid and rotary feedthrough options for high-vacuum applications and can review custom configurations when a standard interface does not fit the chamber, ratings or process requirement.
What should I send for a vacuum interface review?
Send photos of the complete assembly and chamber location, manufacturer and model, labels, drawings, flange and bolt-pattern dimensions, sealing type, electrical or fluid ratings, tubing and fitting sizes, motion details, leak symptoms, process conditions, available utilities and whether production is currently down.
