Alternative to Re-Machining Damaged Knife Edges on Conflat Flanges

Conflat flanges (CF) are commonly used in the vacuum industry as the go to solution for bolted sealing. However, sometimes installs or disassembly doesn’t go as planned, and the knife edges can become damaged and lead to inoperability. We understand that you want to avoid unwanted and unplanned system downtime. Don’t worry… we have a more efficient solution for your problem! By using our Helicoflex® spring-energized metal seal, you’ll be up and running quicker than attempting to perform maintenance on the CF or replacing the part altogether.
