The Elmo Rietschle KTN 26 is a dry-running rotary vane compressor used in industrial compressed-air applications. Its carbon vanes operate inside the compression chamber, gradually wearing as the rotor turns. Regular inspection helps maintain compressor reliability and identify components approaching their replacement limit.
VacAir supplies Rietschle 513431 replacement carbon vanes for the KTN 26. The replacement specification is 85 × 39 × 4 mm, with six carbon vanes required per compressor. The corresponding VacAir reference is VA513431.
New vanes have a height of 39 mm. The minimum permitted vane height for the KTN 26 is 24 mm. This model-specific measurement is important because the same 513431 vane is used in other Rietschle compressors and vacuum pumps, where maintenance limits may differ.
When selecting replacement vanes, identifying both the OEM part number and the compressor model helps ensure the correct quantity and specification are supplied.
VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and offers vacuum pump and compressor servicing and repairs.

The carbon vanes in the KTN 26 experience gradual wear during operation. Monitoring their condition can help identify when a vane change is necessary and reduce the risk of further compressor damage caused by excessively worn or fractured components. The KTN 26 uses six carbon vanes measuring 85 × 39 × 4 mm. New vanes are 39 mm high, with a 24 mm minimum permitted height. During a KTN 26 vane inspection, check: ✓ Remaining height of each carbon vane ✓ Vane edges and surfaces for cracks or fractures ✓ Freedom of movement inside the rotor slots ✓ Cylinder running surfaces for scoring ✓ Rotor, shaft and bearing condition ✓ Inlet filtration and accumulated carbon dust ✓ Signs of overheating or uneven vane wear KTN 26 wear specification: New carbon vanes measure 39 mm high. The minimum permitted vane height is 24 mm. Replace worn vanes as a complete set of six, following the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.

A scheduled KTN 26 service provides an opportunity to examine more than the carbon vanes. Filters, bearings and internal running surfaces should also be assessed to identify contamination, damage or wear that could affect compressor operation. VacAir has supplied industrial vacuum pump and compressor components since 1996. We assist maintenance departments, service engineers and equipment operators with replacement parts and technical support. For KTN 26 spare parts enquiries, provide the compressor model, serial number and any existing manufacturer references to help our team identify the correct items. ✓ Rietschle 513431 replacement carbon vanes ✓ Inlet and exhaust filtration components ✓ Additional compressor servicing and repair parts ✓ Technical assistance with component identification |
VacAir supplies Rietschle 513431 replacement carbon vanes for the KTN 26 compressor, measuring 85 × 39 × 4 mm. The specified replacement quantity is six vanes.
During servicing, the existing carbon vanes should be measured against the 24 mm minimum permitted height. The rotor slots, cylinder running surfaces, bearings and filtration should also be inspected for contamination, damage or excessive wear.
Where a KTN 26 has suffered sudden vane breakage, reduced pressure output or unusual operating noise, investigating the underlying cause before fitting replacement vanes is important.
VacAir’s experienced OEM factory-trained engineers provide carbon vane fitting, preventative servicing, fault diagnosis and vacuum pump and compressor repairs.
