ELMO RIETSCHLE KTN 41 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
The Elmo Rietschle KTN 41 is a dry-running rotary vane compressor used in industrial compressed-air applications. Its carbon vanes operate within the compression chamber, forming an essential part of the compressor’s air delivery mechanism.
VacAir supplies Rietschle 518943 replacement carbon vanes for the KTN 41, measuring 85 × 47 × 4 mm. This model requires seven carbon vanes for a complete replacement. The VacAir replacement reference is VA518943.
New vanes have a height of 47 mm, and the specified minimum permitted vane height is 35 mm. Measuring vane height during maintenance helps determine when replacement is necessary.
The 518943 vane specification is used in several Rietschle compressor and vacuum pump models. Although the same carbon vane dimensions may apply, the quantity fitted can differ. The KTN 41 requires seven vanes, so the full compressor model should be identified when ordering a replacement set.
VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and provides compressor servicing, carbon vane fitting and repairs.

KTN 41 CARBON VANE INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT
|
The KTN 41’s carbon vanes are wear components and should be inspected at the intervals specified by the manufacturer. Excessively worn or damaged vanes can affect compressor performance and may contribute to further internal damage. The specified replacement vanes measure 85 × 47 × 4 mm, with a minimum permitted vane height of 35 mm. A complete KTN 41 replacement requires seven carbon vanes. During inspection, check: ✓ Remaining vane height against the 35 mm limit ✓ Vane edges for chipping, cracks or fractures ✓ Free movement within the rotor slots ✓ Cylinder running surfaces for scoring ✓ Rotor, shaft and bearing condition ✓ Inlet filtration and accumulated carbon dust ✓ Evidence of overheating or uneven wear
KTN 41 vane wear limit: New carbon vanes have an original height of 47 mm. The specified minimum permitted height is 35 mm. Replace worn vanes as a complete set of seven, following the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
