Shimadzu Option Parts AXIAL SENSOR TARGET V2304 for TMP-V2304 Series Molecular Pump

The Shimadzu Option Parts AXIAL SENSOR TARGET V2304 is an axial magnetic‑levitation positioning element designed for service and repair of TMP‑V2304 series molecular pumps. This component functions as the rotor target used by the axial sensor assembly and is provided as an original-quality replacement for maintenance operations on TMP‑V1804 to TMP‑V2304 series pumps.

Key applications and compatibility

• Intended for TMP‑V2304 series molecular pumps; compatible as a repair rotor/target for TMP‑V1804 through TMP‑V2304 models where the axial magnetic sensor scheme is used.
• Used by service technicians replacing worn or damaged rotor targets to restore precise axial levitation and rotor-centering performance.

Primary functions and benefits

• Provides the magnetic/optical target surface required by the axial sensor to locate rotor position accurately.
• Manufactured to original specifications for reliable fit, minimal runout, and repeatable sensor readings—helping maintain pump stability and extend lifetime of the bearing system.
• Direct replacement part for original Shimadzu maintenance and repair procedures; reduces downtime compared to custom or improvised solutions.

Material and build quality

The AXIAL SENSOR TARGET V2304 is produced to OEM quality tolerances. Materials and surface finishes are selected to preserve sensor repeatability and rotor balance. When replacing this component, always use original or certified equivalent parts to avoid imbalance, increased vibration, or sensor misreads.

Installation highlights & handling precautions

1. Work in a clean, ESD-safe environment and follow the pump manufacturer’s disassembly instructions to access the rotor/axial sensor area.
2. Inspect mating surfaces and adjacent components (shaft, bearings, sensor) for wear or contamination before installing the new target.
3. Use the correct alignment tools and low-torque fasteners as specified in the repair manual; avoid applying force that could deform the target.
4. After installation, perform rotor balance verification and sensor calibration routines recommended by Shimadzu to confirm correct operation.

Routine inspection & maintenance advice

• During preventive maintenance intervals, inspect the target surface for wear, pitting, or residue that could affect sensor readings.
• Keep the sensor gap and surrounding area free of oil, dust, and magnetic debris. Cleaning should be done with lint-free wipes and approved solvents.
• If persistent vibration, abnormal noise, or axial position drift is observed after replacement, re-check mounting, sensor alignment, and rotor balance before returning the pump to service.

Troubleshooting symptoms that indicate target replacement

• Loss of stable levitation, frequent sensor alarms, or axial hunting of the rotor.
• Unexpected axial sensor offsets reported during pump diagnostics or service routines.
• Physical damage to the target surface detected during inspection (scratches, corrosion, deformation).

Ordering, packaging & supply notes

When ordering, specify the pump model (TMP‑V2304 series) and indicate the required option part name AXIAL SENSOR TARGET V2304. Use original parts or certified equivalents to ensure compatibility. For part availability, technical support, and non‑standard maintenance parts, see the supplier’s resource page: Shimadzu molecular pump non-standard maintenance parts.

For related components needed during a rotor/target service (e.g., rotor assemblies, bearings, axial sensors), consult the original parts catalog or contact your authorized service provider. Replacement kits often include gaskets, fasteners, and alignment shims to simplify on‑site repairs—refer to the repair instructions for the complete parts list and procedures: Shimadzu molecular pump non-standard maintenance parts.

If you require custom servicing, refurbishment, or multiple spare parts for planned maintenance downtime, authorized distributors can advise on lead times and bulk packaging.
