Shimadzu Option Parts Radial Unit(2) Assy 1003 for TMP-803, 1503 series Molecular pump is an original replacement assembly designed as a combined radial electromagnetic bearing (Radial Magnet Bearing 2) and radial position sensing module (Radial Sensor 2). This unit is intended for use in maintenance and repair of Shimadzu TMP-803 and 1503 series molecular pumps, restoring precise magnetic centering and radial position feedback required for stable rotor levitation and reliable pump operation.
Key functions and role
- Provides the radial electromagnetic bearing elements (Magnet Bearing 2) that generate controlled magnetic forces to center the rotor radially during operation.
- Integrates the radial position sensors (Radial Sensor 2) that detect rotor displacement and supply the feedback signal to the active magnetic bearing controller.
- Packaged as an OEM original repair assembly for direct replacement in TMP-803 and 1503 series units, ensuring correct fit, alignment, and electrical interfaces.
Compatibility
This assembly is specifically matched for Shimadzu TMP-803 and 1503 series molecular pumps. When servicing these models, technicians should use the Radial Unit(2) Assy 1003 to maintain manufacturer-specified dynamic behavior and clearance tolerances.
Benefits of using the genuine assembly
- Guaranteed dimensional and electromagnetic compatibility with the TMP-803/1503 rotors and housings.
- Pre-validated sensor alignment and factory-calibrated mechanical interfaces reduce rework time during replacement.
- Improved long-term reliability and repeatable rotor balance behavior compared with non‑OEM substitutes.
Installation and service notes
- Only qualified service personnel should replace the radial unit assembly. Follow Shimadzu service instructions and safety procedures to avoid damage to the magnetic bearing electronics and rotor.
- Before disassembly, record rotor orientation and bearing controller settings. Use a clean, ESD-safe work area to prevent contamination and sensor damage.
- Inspect mating surfaces and connector pins for wear or corrosion. Replace any damaged fasteners or harnesses and reapply thread-lock or sealing compounds per OEM guidance.
- After mechanical installation, perform electrical connection checks and run the magnetic bearing controller’s auto-centering and sensor self-test sequences to verify correct operation.
Typical inspection points
- Sensor cable integrity and connector seating
- Magnet surface condition (no heavy pitting or debris)
- Mounting bore for correct concentricity and absence of burrs
- Clearance and axial position of the rotor per service manual tolerances
Ordering and part identification
Order as: Radial Unit(2) Assy 1003 (Shimadzu Option Parts) for TMP-803 / 1503 series. When placing replacement part orders, confirm the pump model and serial number to ensure correct revision and any required subcomponents are included.
Storage and handling
- Store the assembly in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Avoid magnetic interference from strong external fields during storage.
- Handle with care to prevent shocks to sensor elements. Use anti-static protection when handling electronic connectors.
Troubleshooting tips
- If the controller reports a radial sensor fault after replacement, recheck connector seating, wiring continuity, and sensor alignment.
- Intermittent vibration or loss of levitation may indicate misalignment, contaminated magnet surfaces, or a failing sensor — inspect and clean components before replacing other modules.
- Always run the pump through a controlled start-up and monitor bearing controller currents and sensor outputs to confirm stable operation.
