ELMO RIETSCHLE VTB 180 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
VacAir supplies replacement carbon vanes for the Elmo Rietschle VTB 180 dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump. The VTB 180 requires 5 carbon vanes for a complete replacement, each measuring 320 × 69 × 5 mm.
These replacement vanes correspond to Rietschle OEM reference 526098. The VacAir replacement reference is VA526098, allowing customers to identify the correct component using the original part number or pump model.
Carbon vanes are wearing components within the VTB 180 rotary vane pumping mechanism. As the pump operates, the vanes gradually wear and should be inspected according to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Replacing worn vanes before failure can help reduce the risk of damage to the rotor and cylinder and avoid unexpected pump downtime.

REPLACING ELMO RIETSCHLE VTB 180 CARBON VANES
|
The Elmo Rietschle VTB 180 uses carbon vanes within its dry-running rotary vane pumping mechanism. These vanes gradually wear during operation, making periodic inspection and preventative maintenance important for continued pump performance. For a complete vane change, the VTB 180 requires 5 carbon vanes measuring 320 × 69 × 5 mm. The corresponding VacAir replacement reference is VA526098, equivalent to Rietschle OEM 526098. During vane replacement, inspect: ✓ Rotor slots for contamination and restricted vane movement
✓ Cylinder wall and internal running surfaces
✓ Rotor and bearing condition
✓ Inlet and exhaust filters
✓ Carbon dust and broken vane fragments
✓ Signs of overheating or uneven wear
Important: If a carbon vane has fractured, investigate the cause, inspect the internal running surfaces and remove all broken fragments before restarting the pump. Always follow the manufacturer’s maintenance and fitting instructions.
