Keeping a Rietschle DFT 140 in productive service depends on having the right wearing parts ready when maintenance is due. VacAir Superstore stocks replacement carbon vanes for this dry-running rotary vane machine, supplying production sites, service companies and industrial engineering departments throughout the UK and overseas.
The DFT 140 takes four carbon vanes for a complete change. Each replacement measures 180 × 55 × 6 mm; the corresponding Rietschle part numbers are 524003 and 523556. VacAir supplies this specification as VA524003, so either OEM number can be used when making an enquiry.
The vane height is 55 mm when new. For the DFT 140, the minimum working height is 40 mm. Measurements are one part of the decision to replace: cracked carbon, damaged edges, uneven wear or a vane that cannot move freely may require attention even before the stated wear limit is reached.
If the DFT 140 is being taken out of service for maintenance, ordering all four replacement vanes together makes it easier to complete the job in one visit. Our focus is straightforward: supply the correctly sized carbon vanes at competitive prices, backed by knowledgeable people who understand industrial pumps.
VacAir also supplies Rietschle filters and spare parts. Where a DFT 140 needs more than a routine vane change, our vacuum pump engineers can assist with inspection, servicing and repairs.

A DFT 140 vane inspection is an opportunity to assess the pump as a whole, not merely to measure a single piece of carbon. Remove and inspect all four vanes, recording their condition and checking for signs of uneven contact, fractured corners or carbon dust accumulation. The replacement vane is 180 × 55 × 6 mm, and its 40 mm minimum working height applies to the DFT 140. A new vane begins at 55 mm high. If the existing vanes are at or below the wear limit, or show physical damage, plan a complete four-vane replacement and investigate any abnormal wear pattern. Checks worth completing while the DFT 140 is accessible: ✓ Compare the height of all four removed vanes ✓ Look for fractured corners and damaged running edges ✓ Confirm each rotor slot allows free vane movement ✓ Inspect the cylinder bore for scratches or scoring ✓ Check the rotor for wear and carbon build-up ✓ Examine the shaft and bearings for abnormal movement ✓ Inspect inlet filters for restriction and contamination ✓ Check for heat damage or unusual discolouration ✓ Investigate differences in wear between the four positions DFT 140 vane wear: New vane height is 55 mm; the model-specific minimum is 40 mm. Measure and inspect all four vanes, and use the manufacturer’s service instructions when reassembling the pump.

Replacement carbon vanes are the main purchase on this page. VacAir stocks the 524003 / 523556 specification for the DFT 140, so maintenance buyers can source the four required vanes from a specialist supplier rather than spending time matching unlabelled carbon components. When the machine is dismantled, other service items may also need attention. A blocked filter, worn bearing or damaged internal running surface can shorten the life of a new vane set, making a wider inspection sensible before the pump is returned to production. Our replacement vane measures 180 × 55 × 6 mm and is supplied under VA524003. Alongside vane supply, VacAir can source relevant Rietschle filters and associated maintenance parts, with engineering assistance available for more involved work. ✓ DFT 140 carbon vanes – 524003 / 523556 ✓ Filtration products for scheduled servicing ✓ Associated Rietschle pump replacement parts ✓ Engineering assistance for repairs and maintenance |
The DFT 140 needs four replacement carbon vanes for a full change. VacAir supplies the parts to customers carrying out their own planned maintenance, as well as businesses that want our engineers to undertake fitting or more extensive servicing.
Before new carbon vanes are installed, confirm the existing set has been assessed against the 40 mm minimum height. Clean and inspect the rotor slots and internal running surfaces in accordance with the pump manufacturer’s instructions; the new set should not be fitted into a damaged or contaminated assembly.
An early vane failure may point to a problem beyond normal wear. Restricted movement, scoring, foreign material or bearing deterioration should be investigated before restarting the machine, particularly where a vane has chipped or fractured.
With VacAir, a DFT 140 customer can buy replacement vanes from stock and separately obtain OEM-trained engineering support when needed. This gives maintenance teams a practical choice between purchasing parts only and arranging a supported repair.

VacAir supplies DFT 140 carbon vanes from Leeds to factories, engineering contractors and pump maintenance companies across the United Kingdom. We understand that a straightforward four-vane order may be tied to a scheduled shutdown or an urgent return-to-service deadline. For international customers, our team also handles orders for Europe and destinations further afield. We can discuss suitable courier services, despatch requirements and collection from our Leeds trade counter where appropriate. When requesting a quotation, quote DFT 140, 524003 or 523556 and the four-vane quantity. Each carbon vane is 180 × 55 × 6 mm; the model-specific minimum height is 40 mm.

Vane specialists since 1996. VacAir has supplied replacement vacuum pump vanes and spare parts for decades. Customers buying DFT 140 carbon vanes deal with a business familiar with industrial rotary vane equipment, rather than a general parts reseller with no pump background.
UK stock for planned and urgent replacement. We stock 524003 / 523556 carbon vanes in the 180 × 55 × 6 mm specification. The DFT 140 requires four vanes, making it straightforward to order a complete replacement quantity for a maintenance visit or unplanned breakdown.
Competitive prices with a published Price Promise. Replacement carbon vanes should offer good value without compromising the confidence customers need in the product supplied. Our Price Promise sets out the conditions for comparing genuinely equivalent UK offers, giving buyers a clear basis for checking our pricing.
Clear product information, fewer ordering mistakes. We publish the DFT 140 vane size, both OEM references, the four-vane set requirement and the 40 mm wear limit. This helps purchasing departments and service engineers check a requisition against the pump they are actually maintaining.
Experienced engineering support if the job becomes more involved. Supplying vanes is our priority, but our OEM-trained engineers can also assist with vane fitting, internal inspections, workshop repairs and fault investigation. That support is useful when a pump shows abnormal wear or has suffered mechanical damage.
ISO 9001:2015 and dependable business supply. VacAir operates within an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and supports customers throughout the UK and internationally. Our approach combines product availability, competitive pricing, responsive communication and practical vacuum pump experience.
