For scheduled maintenance or a replacement following unexpected wear, VacAir Superstore stocks Rietschle DFT 180 carbon vanes in the UK. Each vane is 240 × 55 × 6 mm, identified by Rietschle references 524004 and 523557. The pump takes four vanes for a full change, and the DFT 180 has a 40 mm minimum working height.

UK, European & Worldwide Supply
For a production facility relying on its Rietschle DFT 180, arranging replacement carbon vanes before the next maintenance shutdown makes sound operational sense. VacAir Superstore supplies DFT 180 vanes from UK stock, helping industrial purchasers and maintenance engineers obtain the parts needed for routine servicing or an unexpected repair.
This model takes a matched set of four carbon vanes. The vane specification is 240 × 55 × 6 mm, with Rietschle references 524004 and 523557. Our supply reference is VA524004; either OEM number can be quoted when requesting replacement parts.
The DFT 180 vane starts at 55 mm in height and has a 40 mm minimum working height. As the carbon wears, its reduced height can affect operation. Measuring the removed vanes during planned maintenance gives a more reliable picture than waiting for an obvious change in performance.
Because the vane is 240 mm long, checking its full length for chipping, cracking and uneven contact is particularly worthwhile. The correct order quantity for a complete DFT 180 vane change is four; the shared vane reference and any wider model applications are documented separately on the master product page.
VacAir also supplies Rietschle filters and spare parts. Where a DFT 180 needs more than a routine vane change, our vacuum pump engineers can assist with inspection, servicing and repairs.

A DFT 180 vane inspection should cover all four rotor slots and the full working surface of each carbon vane. Look beyond the overall height: uneven edges, fractures, rough movement in a slot or abnormal dust deposits can indicate a condition that deserves investigation before the pump returns to duty. The replacement vanes measure 240 × 55 × 6 mm when new. The 55 mm dimension is the original vane height; the specified minimum working height is 40 mm. Measure each of the four vanes accurately and compare their wear patterns, rather than judging the set by a single example. Points to examine during a DFT 180 service: ✓ Record the height of each of the four removed vanes ✓ Check the full 240 mm vane length for damage ✓ Look for chipped corners or longitudinal cracks ✓ Confirm each rotor slot allows free vane movement ✓ Inspect the internal running surface for scoring ✓ Check rotor and shaft surfaces for signs of contact ✓ Assess bearings for unwanted play or noise ✓ Examine inlet filtration and carbon dust accumulation ✓ Identify contamination or overheating marks DFT 180 measurement check: New carbon vane height 55 mm; minimum working height 40 mm. Replace the four-vane set as appropriate and follow the Rietschle service procedure.

VacAir can supply the four DFT 180 replacement vanes together with other Elmo Rietschle spares required for a maintenance visit. Ordering the vane set and relevant filtration parts ahead of a shutdown reduces the chance of work being held up while components are sourced. When a pump is opened for vane replacement, it is a useful opportunity to examine the condition of the cylinder, rotor slots, bearings and inlet system. A fresh vane set cannot compensate for a damaged running surface or debris left behind after an earlier failure. We have supplied replacement vacuum pump components since 1996. For the DFT 180, our stock includes the 240 × 55 × 6 mm carbon vane under references 524004 and 523557, backed by access to associated spares and engineering services. ✓ DFT 180 carbon vanes — 524004 / 523557 ✓ Inlet filters and service consumables ✓ Rietschle pump spares for planned maintenance ✓ Engineering support for pump repair work |
Customers can purchase DFT 180 replacement carbon vanes directly from VacAir for their own maintenance teams to install. The pump uses four vanes per set, and our engineers can also provide fitting and repair services where outside assistance is preferred.
Before a new set goes into the rotor, confirm that the existing vanes have been assessed against the 40 mm wear limit and that the rotor slots and working chamber are clean and undamaged. A careful inspection helps protect the replacement parts and reduces the risk of repeated intervention.
If a vane has fractured, or the machine has developed unusual noise or vibration, the reason for the damage should be established. Rotor-slot restrictions, internal scoring, contamination and bearing problems are among the conditions that may require attention in addition to a vane change.
VacAir offers a practical choice: buy the four DFT 180 vanes from stock for your own engineer, or use our OEM-trained service team for fitting, inspection and broader pump maintenance. We can support both planned work and repairs arising from an unexpected stoppage.

DFT 180 carbon vanes are available from VacAir in Leeds for industrial customers across the UK. We supply purchasing departments, independent engineers and maintenance contractors that need a dependable source of replacement parts for their equipment. We also supply international customers, with delivery options for Europe and destinations further afield. If a shutdown is approaching, our team can discuss dispatch arrangements or collection from the Leeds trade counter so the four-vane set reaches the job when needed. For accurate ordering, specify Rietschle DFT 180, OEM 524004 or 523557, and four carbon vanes measuring 240 × 55 × 6 mm. The DFT 180 minimum working height is 40 mm.

A specialist supplier established in 1996. VacAir has spent decades supplying replacement vanes and vacuum pump components to industrial customers. That experience matters when a maintenance buyer needs a supplier who understands the purpose of the part, not simply a catalogue number.
DFT 180 vanes held in UK stock. We stock the 524004 / 523557 carbon vane in the 240 × 55 × 6 mm size. With four required per DFT 180, customers can source the complete replacement quantity from one specialist supplier and organise maintenance with greater confidence.
Competitive prices with a clear Price Promise. We aim to make quality replacement carbon vanes commercially attractive without sacrificing knowledgeable service. Our published Price Promise terms set out the conditions for comparing genuine like-for-like UK offers.
Information that supports the purchasing decision. We state the DFT 180 quantity, both OEM references, vane dimensions and the model-specific 40 mm wear limit. This helps purchasing teams raise accurate orders and engineers confirm what should be on site before opening the pump.
Engineering support when parts alone are not enough. VacAir has OEM-trained engineers available for vane fitting, fault investigation, workshop repair and planned servicing. If abnormal vane wear points to another mechanical issue, our customers can access technical capability beyond the replacement part itself.
Quality-managed service and international supply. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system supports our commitment to consistent service and continual improvement. Alongside UK supply, we serve overseas customers and help businesses obtain replacement vanes, spare parts and engineering assistance from a single established source.
