ELMO RIETSCHLE KLT 40 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
The Elmo Rietschle KLT 40 is a dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump that uses carbon vanes within its pumping mechanism. These components are subject to gradual wear during operation, making periodic inspection and replacement an important part of routine pump maintenance.
VacAir supplies 85 × 47 × 4 mm replacement carbon vanes for the KLT 40, corresponding to Rietschle OEM reference 518943 and VacAir reference VA518943. The KLT 40 requires 7 vanes for a complete replacement.
Part number 518943 is also associated with other Rietschle vacuum pump models. Although the carbon vane dimensions are shared, the number of vanes required can differ between pumps. This KLT 40 page therefore concentrates on the seven-vane arrangement, while our master page brings together the information associated with the OEM part number.
For broader maintenance requirements, VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and provides vacuum pump servicing and repairs.

KLT 40 CARBON VANE INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT
|
In a dry-running rotary vane pump, carbon vanes move within the rotor slots and form part of the pumping chambers. As the vanes wear, their length gradually reduces. Routine inspection allows worn components to be identified before they reach the manufacturer’s minimum service limit. For the Elmo Rietschle KLT 40, a full replacement involves fitting seven 518943 carbon vanes. The condition of the pump should also be assessed, particularly if the old vanes have suffered unusual wear or damage. During inspection, check: ✓ Rotor slots for wear and restricted vane movement
✓ Cylinder walls for scoring or damage
✓ Bearings and other rotating components
✓ Inlet filters for contamination or blockage
✓ Carbon dust and broken vane fragments
✓ Signs of overheating or uneven vane wear
Important: If a KLT 40 has suffered a broken vane, do not assume that fitting replacement carbon alone will resolve the problem. Inspect the pumping chamber and establish whether another fault contributed to the failure.
