Rietschle DTB 500 Two-Piece Carbon Vanes – 527133 / 527134

ELMO RIETSCHLE DTB 500 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES

VacAir Superstore stocks and supplies Rietschle DTB 500 replacement carbon vanes for industrial compressor maintenance. The DTB 500 uses an unusual two-piece vane arrangement, making it important to identify both components correctly before ordering. Our specialist spares department has supplied carbon vanes, vacuum pump components and compressor parts since 1996, helping engineers and purchasing teams obtain the right replacements without unnecessary delays.

Inside the DTB 500 rotor are five vane slots, but unlike a conventional five-vane arrangement, each slot contains two separate carbon pieces of different lengths. The short vane measures 70 × 91 × 6 mm and carries OEM reference 527133, with alternative reference 526392. Its longer companion measures 380 × 91 × 6 mm, identified by 527134 or alternative reference 526393.

For a complete DTB 500 vane replacement, the required quantity is five short vanes and five long vanes — ten individual pieces. All ten must be renewed together as a set. Ordering only five vanes because the rotor contains five slots would leave the compressor without the full replacement quantity, so VacAir makes this distinction clear when supplying DTB 500 parts.

Both carbon vane types have an original height of 91 mm, and the minimum permitted height for the DTB 500 is 57 mm. Engineers should check the condition of every short and long component, including running edges, corners and wear patterns. Cracking, restricted movement or abnormal wear may indicate that other internal components require attention before the compressor is returned to service.

VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and filters. Where inspection identifies problems beyond normal carbon vane wear, our vacuum pump and compressor servicing team can provide additional assistance.

DTB 500 VANE FITTING & PUMP SERVICING

A complete Rietschle DTB 500 carbon vane replacement involves ten separate pieces fitted into five rotor slots. Each slot accommodates a short 527133 vane and a long 527134 vane. All five pairs must be replaced together to avoid retaining worn carbon alongside new components.

Before installing the new set, inspect the removed vanes and check their remaining height against the 57 mm minimum permitted limit. Both vane types start at 91 mm in height. The rotor slots should be clean and free from obstructions, with the internal running surfaces examined for scoring or signs of abnormal contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions for the two-piece arrangement.

If one of the paired vanes has cracked, chipped or suffered unusual wear, investigate the condition of the corresponding slot and surrounding components. Carbon debris, contamination or mechanical damage should be addressed before fitting the replacement set. Simply installing new carbon without investigating the cause of an earlier failure may result in further problems.

VacAir’s principal aim is to supply the correct replacement vanes at competitive prices. Customers with their own maintenance engineers can obtain the full ten-piece set without purchasing an installation service. Where additional support is needed, our OEM-trained engineers can assist with vane fitting, fault diagnosis, compressor servicing and repairs.
