VacAir supplies Rietschle 513878 replacement carbon vanes for four Elmo Rietschle dry-running rotary vane pump and compressor models: the DLT 6, TL 6, TLV 6 and VLT 6.
Each 513878 vane measures 40 × 31 × 4 mm, and all four applications use the same 6-vane set. This makes the 513878 family particularly straightforward to identify when either the Rietschle part number or one of the compatible pump models is known.
The Rietschle DLT 6, TL 6, TLV 6 and VLT 6 each require 6 × 513878 carbon vanes, measuring 40 × 31 × 4 mm.

Carbon vanes are wearing components in dry-running rotary vane pumps. When replacing a 513878 vane set, the pump should also be inspected for conditions that may have contributed to excessive, uneven or premature vane wear. Useful checks while the pump is open include: ✓ Rotor and rotor shaft condition
✓ Rotor slots and free vane movement
✓ Internal pump surfaces
✓ Bearings and excessive movement
✓ Inlet filter condition
✓ Signs of overheating or contamination
If the previous vanes have broken or show abnormal wear, investigate the pump condition before fitting the new set rather than assuming normal vane wear is the only cause.

VacAir has supplied carbon vanes and vacuum pump components for decades, supporting OEMs, distributors, maintenance engineers, service companies and end users in the UK and overseas.
Unlike a general online carbon-vane supplier, we understand the pumps the vanes operate in. Our team can help identify a replacement using the Rietschle part number, pump model and vane dimensions, and can discuss problems such as loss of performance, abnormal vane wear or broken vanes.
When a vane has failed rather than simply reached the end of normal service, our vacuum pump experience can help identify areas that should be checked before the new set is installed. This can be particularly useful where a customer wants to understand why the vane failed and reduce the risk of the same problem occurring again.
We also supply vacuum pump spares and provide workshop servicing, fault investigation and refurbishment, together with nationwide field engineering support.
Our Price Promise combines competitive vane pricing with genuine vacuum pump knowledge and technical support.
