Maintaining the carbon vanes in an Elmo Rietschle KTA 50 is an important part of caring for this dry-running rotary vane pump. The vanes are subject to normal mechanical wear, and checking their condition at the recommended service intervals helps avoid operating with excessively worn components.
The KTA 50 uses six replacement carbon vanes, each measuring 160 × 37 × 4 mm. VacAir replacement reference VA523880 corresponds to Rietschle OEM part number 523880. The minimum permitted vane height is 27 mm, measured across the original 37 mm height.
This model-specific page identifies the correct vane dimensions, quantity and wear limit for the KTA 50. Customers searching by the original Rietschle part number can also refer to our master vane product page, which consolidates the information associated with reference 523880.
VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and provides vacuum pump servicing and repairs for customers who require additional maintenance support.

The carbon vanes fitted to the Elmo Rietschle KTA 50 gradually lose height through normal operation. New vanes measure 160 × 37 × 4 mm, with a minimum permitted height of 27 mm. Measuring the vane height during maintenance helps determine when the components have reached their wear limit. If any vane has reached the 27 mm minimum, the vanes should be replaced. A complete KTA 50 vane change requires six carbon vanes, corresponding to OEM reference 523880. The pumping chamber should also be inspected before the replacements are fitted. During maintenance, check: ✓ Vane height against the 27 mm wear limit
✓ Rotor slots for wear and free vane movement
✓ Cylinder surfaces for scoring or damage
✓ Bearings and other rotating components
✓ Inlet filters and possible restrictions
✓ Carbon deposits, fragments or uneven wear
KTA 50 wear limit: The original vane height is 37 mm and the minimum permitted height is 27 mm. Do not continue operating with vanes at or below the specified limit. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions when inspecting and replacing components.

Maintenance teams carrying out their own KTA 50 servicing can obtain the six 523880 carbon vanes required for a complete replacement directly from VacAir.
The specified 27 mm minimum vane height provides a useful inspection reference. However, vane wear should not be considered in isolation: unusual noise, broken vanes, excessive deposits or damaged internal surfaces may indicate that the pump requires additional attention.
VacAir’s experienced OEM factory-trained engineers can assist with vane fitting, preventative servicing, fault investigation and vacuum pump repairs.
Whether the work is part of a scheduled maintenance programme or follows an unexpected breakdown, our team can discuss suitable servicing and repair options.
