Vacuum Technology for the Modern World

Vacuum technology has become indispensable in many areas of our daily lives and industry. In the electronics and semiconductor industries, it enables the production of highly sensitive microchips as well as solar and photovoltaic modules. In medicine and biotechnology, it is used for the vacuum distillation or vacuum drying of sensitive pharmaceutical products. It is also essential in research and science, for example, in laboratory technology and measuring systems for precise analysis.

Furthermore, vacuum technology finds diverse applications in industry and production, for example, in vacuum coating systems, metallization, food packaging systems, or vacuum deep drawing in metal forming.

High Demands on Components and Systems

A reliable vacuum system requires perfectly matched components. With increasing vacuum levels – from rough vacuum to high vacuum to

From backlash-free servo couplings and torque-limiting safety couplings to mechanical and hydromechanical clamping elements and vacuum components compliant with KF, ISO-K, and CF standards—JAKOB stands for sophisticated technology, high performance, and maximum operational reliability.

With our solutions, you optimize processes, boost productivity, and enhance the cost-efficiency of your machinery and systems. Efficient technology that delivers performance.

Your Partner for Innovative Vacuum Technology

With JAKOB, you benefit from years of experience and extensive expertise in vacuum technology. We offer not only high-quality standard vacuum components compliant with ISO-KF, ISO-K, and ISO-CF standards but also develop custom solutions tailored precisely to your requirements.
Our extensive product range includes vacuum lines, special connections, valves, gas locks, zeolite and cold traps, and condensate separators. Thanks to modern manufacturing processes and specialized services, we ensure the highest precision, absolute leak-tightness, and maximum reliability for your vacuum systems—resulting in more efficient processes, longer-lasting products, and minimal maintenance.

Precision Drive Technology for Vacuum Applications

JAKOB also offers high-performance coupling solutions for drives operating under vacuum conditions. Our welded, stainless-steel metal bellows couplings are backlash-free and torsionally rigid; they do not outgas and are resistant to both temperature and corrosion. We can customize these couplings for various vacuum applications, making them ideal for environments where reliable torque transmission, precise positioning, and the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene are essential.

JAKOB technology is utilized across a wide range of industries and vacuum applications—including the semiconductor industry, solar and photovoltaic technology, battery manufacturing, coating systems for sensors, optics, and glass, the food industry, as well as pharmaceutical, medical, and cleanroom technology. Wherever leak-tightness, precision, cleanliness, and reliability are critical, JAKOB solutions deliver genuine added value.
