Maintenance and use of GLVAC vacuum capacitors

2025/10/14

GLVAC ceramic vacuum capacitors have been widely used in modern high-end manufacturing equipment due to their unique performance advantages. In broadcast communication equipment, it serves as tuning, coupling, filtering, and other components to ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission. In semiconductor manufacturing equipment, it is used for plasma deposition and etching processes, which have a crucial impact on process accuracy and stability. In addition, in the fields of high-frequency industrial equipment, medical analysis and treatment equipment, GLVAC vacuum capacitors also play an irreplaceable role.

As electronic components of the new era, the use of vacuum capacitors should be standardized and regulated.

Suggestions for preventing failure:

1) Strengthen the management of transportation, storage, and usage environment. The internal breakdown voltage of vacuum capacitors mainly depends on the surface state and gap size between the electrodes. As the electrodes are made of copper strips, the material is relatively soft and the gap between the electrodes is small. Therefore, accidental bumps and impacts may cause internal deformation, irreparable damage, and avoid dirty usage environments that may cause excessive leakage current and external creepage phenomena.

2) Enhance the cooling efficiency of the product during use. The normal operating current of capacitors is achieved under normal cooling conditions. Once the cooling efficiency decreases or is insufficient, it is easy to cause the product to overheat and shorten its lifespan.

3) Strengthen maintenance: Due to lack of lubrication, the lubricating grease of vacuum capacitors is prone to failure under high temperature operation, causing excessive wear and jamming of the threads of the rotating screw. Regular cleaning and lubrication of the rotating screw should be carried out to avoid product jamming.

4) Correct installation: Reduce mechanical stress. Do not forcefully install capacitors when there is an error in the position of the threads and connectors. The installation thread should be tightened evenly and slowly at the diagonal position to avoid excessive force that may cause deformation of the installation parts.

5) Correct operation. Due to the constant back and forth movement of the corrugated tube under certain stress, it is prone to metal fatigue and gas leakage. The greater the stress, the more repeated the movement, and the faster the fatigue speed, which can easily lead to sudden failure. Try to avoid unnecessary rotation of the vacuum capacitor, shorten the usage stroke, and extend the life of the bellows.

Ceramic vacuum capacitors, as precision components at the top of the electronic industry pyramid, have strict quality requirements for storage, use, and maintenance processes. Proper usage standards are essential for maximizing the performance of ceramic vacuum capacitors, which plays a significant role in improving equipment reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
