ELMO RIETSCHLE KTN 40 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
The Elmo Rietschle KTN 40 is a dry-running rotary vane compressor used in industrial compressed-air applications. Its carbon vanes operate within the compression chamber and are subject to gradual wear during normal operation. Regular inspection and timely replacement help maintain reliable compressor performance.
VacAir supplies Rietschle 518943 replacement carbon vanes for the KTN 40. These vanes measure 85 × 47 × 4 mm, with a specified replacement quantity of six vanes and a minimum permitted vane height of 35 mm.
The VacAir replacement reference is VA518943. The same OEM vane specification is associated with several Rietschle compressors and vacuum pumps, making it important to identify the correct model and set quantity when arranging replacements.
The original vane height is 47 mm. During routine maintenance, each vane should be measured and examined for cracks, chipping and uneven wear. The specified minimum height for this KTN 40 application is 35 mm.
VacAir also supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts and provides compressor servicing, vane fitting and repairs.

KTN 40 CARBON VANE INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT
|
Carbon vane inspection is an important part of KTN 40 compressor maintenance. As the vanes wear, their dimensions reduce, and excessive wear may affect compression performance or contribute to internal damage. The specified KTN 40 carbon vanes measure 85 × 47 × 4 mm when new. The minimum permitted vane height is 35 mm. Replacement should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Recommended inspection checks: ✓ Measure all vanes against the 35 mm wear limit ✓ Examine vane edges and surfaces for fractures ✓ Check that vanes move freely within rotor slots ✓ Inspect the cylinder for scoring or abnormal wear ✓ Examine rotor, shaft and bearing condition ✓ Check inlet filtration and internal contamination ✓ Investigate signs of overheating or uneven wear
KTN 40 wear limit: New vanes have an original height of 47 mm. The specified minimum permitted height is 35 mm. Replace vanes as a complete set when required and investigate any broken or unusually worn components before restarting the compressor.
