ELMO RIETSCHLE KTA 80/2 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
Keeping an Elmo Rietschle KTA 80/2 operating reliably requires attention to the carbon vanes inside its dry-running rotary vane mechanism. As the pump operates, the vanes gradually wear against the internal running surface and must be checked as part of routine maintenance.
The KTA 80/2 uses six replacement carbon vanes measuring 130 × 52 × 5 mm. VacAir supplies these under part number VA523778, corresponding to primary OEM reference 523778 and alternative Rietschle numbers 526886 and 523851.
Each new vane is 52 mm high, while the minimum permitted vane height is 38 mm. Comparing the existing vane height against this limit provides a practical way of assessing wear during maintenance. The KTA 80/2 shares this replacement specification with certain related KTA models, although compatibility must always be checked against the complete pump designation.
For additional maintenance requirements, VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and offers professional vacuum pump servicing and repairs.

KTA 80/2 CARBON VANE REPLACEMENT & INSPECTION
|
Carbon vanes are consumable components within the KTA 80/2 pumping mechanism. Their original height is 52 mm, reducing progressively during operation. The minimum permitted vane height is 38 mm, making vane measurement an important part of scheduled inspection. The pump requires six 130 × 52 × 5 mm carbon vanes for a complete replacement. When the existing vanes reach the 38 mm wear limit, replace the full set and check the condition of the rotor and cylinder before returning the pump to service. Recommended inspection points: ✓ Measure the remaining vane height
✓ Examine carbon edges for chipping and fractures
✓ Check for unrestricted movement within rotor slots
✓ Look for scoring on internal running surfaces
✓ Inspect the rotor and bearings for abnormal wear
✓ Check inlet filtration and accumulated debris
✓ Investigate unusual wear patterns or heat damage
Important KTA 80/2 maintenance guidance: The minimum permitted carbon vane height is 38 mm, compared with 52 mm when new. Replace the six vanes as a complete set. If a vane has fractured or become jammed, investigate the cause and remove any carbon fragments before fitting replacements.

SPARE PARTS FOR THE ELMO RIETSCHLE KTA 80/2
|
A planned KTA 80/2 service is an opportunity to assess more than the condition of the carbon vanes. Filtration, rotor condition and associated components can all affect the performance and reliability of a dry-running rotary vane pump. VacAir has supplied replacement vacuum pump vanes and spare parts since 1996, helping engineering teams source components for routine servicing, preventative maintenance and repair work. When enquiring about KTA 80/2 spares, provide the pump model and serial number where possible. Existing OEM references can also assist with identifying replacement parts, especially when maintaining several similar KTA pumps. ✓ KTA 80/2 carbon vane replacements

KTA 80/2 VANE FITTING & PUMP SERVICING
For maintenance departments carrying out their own repairs, VacAir supplies the six replacement carbon vanes required for the Elmo Rietschle KTA 80/2 under part number VA523778.
Checking vane height against the 38 mm minimum wear limit is one part of a proper service inspection. The pump’s internal surfaces, rotor slots, filtration and bearing condition should also be examined, particularly if the existing vanes show irregular wear or damage.
VacAir’s OEM factory-trained engineers provide support with carbon vane replacement, planned maintenance, vacuum pump repairs and fault diagnosis.
Where a KTA 80/2 has stopped unexpectedly, a technical assessment can help establish whether replacement vanes alone are appropriate or whether further repair work is needed.

Sourcing carbon vanes by pump model alone can sometimes lead to confusion, particularly where several related pumps have similar model numbers. For the KTA 80/2, VacAir identifies the required vane through the pump designation, its 130 × 52 × 5 mm dimensions and the corresponding OEM references.
The primary reference 523778 and alternative references 526886 and 523851 are grouped on our master vane page. This helps customers identify the same replacement component whether they are working from an existing spare part, maintenance record or manufacturer reference.
The KTA 80/2 requires six vanes per pump, with a minimum permitted vane height of 38 mm. Providing this information alongside the OEM numbers helps maintenance teams prepare for servicing and assess worn vanes.
VacAir has supported vacuum pump users since 1996, combining replacement parts supply with technical assistance and engineering services. Our operations are supported by an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
