For compact dry-running Rietschle equipment, the right replacement carbon vane is an essential maintenance item. VacAir Superstore supplies DLT 6 carbon vanes from UK stock, giving plant engineers and service businesses a straightforward source for the six pieces needed to renew the rotor set.
The DLT 6 takes six 513878 carbon vanes, each measuring 40 × 31 × 4 mm. The longer OEM format is 5138780000, and our replacement reference is VA513878. Ordering against these numbers helps distinguish the DLT 6 vane from visually similar parts used in other small pumps.
At 31 mm high when new, the vane has a specified 20 mm minimum working height for this DLT 6 application. Height is only one consideration: cracking, uneven contact or restricted travel in the rotor slots can also make a set unsuitable for continued use.
For planned maintenance, obtaining a complete set of six before opening the machine can reduce disruption. If a pump has stopped because a vane has fractured, the rotor and running chamber should also be inspected before the replacement set is fitted.
Our Rietschle spares range includes associated maintenance parts, while VacAir engineering services are available when a vane change forms part of a larger repair.

Routine inspection of the DLT 6 is an opportunity to assess the entire rotor set, not just the vane nearest the access opening. Remove and inspect all six vanes in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedure, keeping an eye out for cracks, edge damage and unusual wear patterns. The specified new vane size is 40 × 31 × 4 mm, with 31 mm original height and a 20 mm minimum working height. Check the height of each vane and consider whether all six are moving properly. A vane that catches in its slot can cause problems even if it has not reached the dimensional wear limit. Points to check before fitting a DLT 6 replacement set: ✓ Measure the working height of each of the six vanes ✓ Look closely for hairline cracks and chipped corners ✓ Check for smooth vane movement in each rotor slot ✓ Inspect the chamber wall for scoring or abnormal marks ✓ Examine the rotor and shaft for signs of damage ✓ Assess bearing condition and unwanted movement ✓ Check the inlet filter for restriction and debris ✓ Remove accumulated carbon dust as directed by the manufacturer ✓ Investigate any overheating or contamination ✓ Establish the cause of a broken vane before restarting DLT 6 measurement check: New carbon vane height 31 mm; minimum working height 20 mm. Replace the six-vane set as appropriate and follow the Rietschle service procedure.

Alongside DLT 6 replacement vanes, VacAir supplies Rietschle filters and related pump components. The six-vane requirement makes it sensible to organise a complete replacement set together with any other service items before work begins. With the housing open, inspect the inlet path, running chamber and rotor assembly. Damage left behind by a fractured carbon vane may affect the new set, so cleaning and checking the internal components is as important as fitting the correct replacement parts. VacAir has supplied industrial vacuum pump components since 1996. We stock 513878 carbon vanes for the DLT 6 and can support maintenance teams needing other parts during a service. ✓ Rietschle 513878 carbon vanes, 40 × 31 × 4 mm ✓ Replacement inlet filtration and service parts ✓ Additional Rietschle pump components ✓ Workshop servicing and practical technical assistance |
A complete DLT 6 vane change requires six carbon vanes. VacAir supplies these parts for customers carrying out their own planned maintenance, as well as offering engineering support when a pump needs professional attention.
Before assembly, inspect the old set against the 20 mm wear limit, clean the pump in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidance and check that the replacement vanes can move freely in the rotor slots. Correct fitting and internal cleanliness matter in a compact dry-running pump.
If the removed vanes show breakage or markedly uneven wear, investigate the cause rather than treating the job as a routine consumable change. A damaged running surface, restricted vane travel or contamination may shorten the life of the new carbon set.
Our OEM-trained engineering team can assist with vane fitting, inspection, fault finding and pump repairs. Customers who simply need six new DLT 6 vanes can buy the parts without taking on a servicing package.
