Quality Control

 

For vacuum pumps, quality is not determined by appearance alone. Component dimensions, internal clearances, sealing, assembly accuracy, lubrication, and operating conditions directly affect vacuum performance.
Our quality control system covers every critical manufacturing stage--from incoming raw component inspection (IQC) and precision machining (IPQC), to functional assembly, vacuum performance testing, and final outgoing inspection (OQC).

 

 
Vacuum Performance Testing
 

A vacuum pump may look flawlessly built while concealing hidden internal issues--such as micro-leaks, improper rotor clearances, oil circulation blockages, or subtle misalignments. For this reason, rigorous performance testing forms the core of our quality verification.
Depending on the pump type and technical specification, factory testing includes:

01/

Ultimate Pressure / Base Vacuum: Verified with calibrated capacitive/Pirani gauges.

02/

Pumping Speed: Tested in accordance with ISO 21360-1 standard procedures.

03/

Motor Operating Parameters: Current draw, power consumption, and winding temperature rise.

04/

Running Stability: Thermal equilibrium and mechanical smoothness checks.

05/

Vibration Analysis & Noise Level: Measured in dB(A) and FFT vibration spectrum.

06/

Oil System Integrity: Oil circulation, anti-suckback valve sealing, and gas ballast functionality.

 

Component and Dimensional Inspection

 

Vacuum pump performance depends heavily on the machining precision and metallurgical condition of individual parts. Incoming components are inspected before release into the assembly line.

 

Inspection Area

Critical Parameters Checked

Incoming Components

Geometric tolerances (concentricity, runout, perpendicularity), surface roughness ($Ra$), flange specs (ISO-K, KF, NPT, BSP), shaft hardness, dynamic seal material specs, and motor efficiency (IE3/IE4, IP55/IP65).

Housings / Cylinders

Inner diameter roundness, surface finish, and port positioning.

Rotors & Shafts

Dynamic balancing, concentricity, and axial play.

Bearing Seats & Seals

Precision tolerance fits and scratch-free sealing surface integrity.

 

Quality Control Focus by Vacuum Pump Type

Measurement, Equipment, and Quality Evidence

We believe quality assertions should be backed by transparent manufacturing data. The following documentation is available for export and contract verification:

Material & Machining

Material Test Certificates (MTC) and CMM Dimensional Inspection Reports.

Rotors & Mechanics

Dynamic Balancing Reports and Timing Gear Backlash Records.

Performance Logs

Factory Vacuum Performance Curves (Pumping Speed vs. Pressure) and Full Run-in Test Logs.

Compliance & Media

Certificate of Compliance (CE, ISO 9001) and photo/video evidence of testing setups.

 

 

Final Outgoing Inspection (OQC) Checklist

 

Inspection Item
