Description
The Edwards nXDS6 series is a compact, oil-free dry scroll platform ideal for laboratories and process lines that demand clean vacuum, low maintenance, and consistent uptime. Choose from the standard nXDS6i, the corrosion-resistant nXDS6iC, or the nXDS6iR variant configured without gas ballast.
Each model features NW25 (DN 25 ISO-KF) inlet/outlet flanges, quiet 52 dB(A) operation with forced-air cooling, and universal single-phase power. UL/CSA/CE/EAC certifications make integration straightforward for research, analytical, and pilot-scale environments.
With IP20 protection, balanced scrolls, and DX-protocol communication interface, the nXDS6 family offers dependable rough vacuum performance across a wide range of applications.
Confirm electrical plug style and clearance using the dimensions table below before ordering. Cables and certain accessories (e.g., gas ballast, inlet filters) are selected separately.

FAQ
What are the differences between nXDS6i, nXDS6iC, and nXDS6iR?
nXDS6i is the standard model. nXDS6iC uses corrosion-resistant materials/seals for aggressive vapors. nXDS6iR is supplied without gas ballast for applications that do not require vapor handling.
Do these pumps need oil changes?
No. They are dry scroll designs—no oil in the vacuum path—reducing maintenance and contamination risk.
What does the gas ballast do?
Gas ballast improves handling of condensable vapors (e.g., water). If you frequently pump moisture or solvents, choose nXDS6i or nXDS6iC and add the appropriate ballast accessory.
Are cables and filters included?
Power cable is not included and must be selected for your region. Inlet filters and foreline accessories are optional.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the i, iC and iR variants?+
nXDS6i is the standard pump, nXDS6iC is corrosion-resistant, and nXDS6iR is configured without gas ballast.
What are the inlet and outlet connections?+
NW25 (DN 25 ISO-KF) flanges on both inlet and outlet.
What certifications does it carry?+
The product data lists UL, CSA, CE and EAC, with IP20 protection.
How loud is it?+
52 dB(A), with forced-air cooling.
Does it have a communications interface?+
Yes — a DX-protocol communication interface.
