Balzers LVM215-5BMO-X17 DN100 ISO-K EVA 100 PA 0021-09718 Right Angle Inlet Valve: Procurement Strategy & Supply Continuity
Balzers (now operating under the Pfeiffer Vacuum brand umbrella following the 1994 merger) produced this valve series for integration with turbomolecular pump inlets, diffusion pump fore-vacuum lines, and load-lock chamber isolation. The LVM215 series has entered its mature/end-of-life phase. OEM production of this exact configuration has been discontinued, making secondary market sourcing the primary procurement channel for maintenance and capital repair programs.
Procurement Specifications
Every LVM215-5BMO-X17 unit shipped by DriveKNMS undergoes functional verification prior to dispatch. For pneumatically actuated valves, this includes actuation cycle testing, leak-down verification at the seat, and flange surface inspection. Units are packaged in anti-static, moisture-barrier packaging with nitrogen purge where applicable.
Part number verification: Balzers/Pfeiffer part numbering conventions changed significantly post-merger. The suffix -5BMO-X17 and factory reference 0021-09718 are cross-referenced against our internal database to confirm exact fit before dispatch review. We flag cross-compatibility issues proactively — if your application can accept a Pfeiffer successor model, we will advise accordingly rather than ship an incompatible unit.
Q: How are RFQ terms confirmed?
A: Quantity, required condition, documentation needs, destination and sourcing route are confirmed during RFQ review before quotation.
Repeat order management: For facilities with multiple vacuum systems using Balzers legacy components, we offer a managed spare parts program — periodic inventory review, priority allocation, and consolidated annual billing.
Q: Can you support multi-unit or repeat RFQ requests?
A: Yes. Send the model list, target quantity and destination so DRIVEKNMS can review sourcing options and quote the requirement as a project RFQ.
