ELMO RIETSCHLE VLT 6 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
VacAir supplies replacement carbon vanes for the Elmo Rietschle VLT 6 dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump. The VLT 6 uses 6 carbon vanes, each measuring 40 × 31 × 4 mm, making it important to select the correct vane dimensions when preparing for maintenance.
These replacement vanes correspond to Rietschle OEM references 513878 and 5138780000. The VacAir replacement reference is VA513878.

REPLACING ELMO RIETSCHLE VLT 6 CARBON VANES
|
The Elmo Rietschle VLT 6 is a dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump. During operation, the carbon vanes move within the rotor slots and are subject to gradual wear. Replacing worn vanes before they become excessively short or damaged is an important part of maintaining the pump. A complete VLT 6 vane replacement requires 6 carbon vanes measuring 40 × 31 × 4 mm. The replacement reference is VA513878, corresponding to Rietschle OEM 513878. During vane replacement, inspect: ✓ Rotor slots for contamination and restricted movement
✓ Cylinder wall and internal running surfaces
✓ Rotor and bearing condition
✓ Inlet and exhaust filters
✓ Carbon dust and any broken vane fragments
✓ Signs of overheating or uneven wear
Important: If a carbon vane has broken, investigate the cause and remove all fragments before restarting the pump. Follow the manufacturer’s servicing instructions when fitting replacements.
