Rotary vanes

Rietschle Thomas has now closed the gap between miniature rotary vane pumps and rotary vane pumps with the new VTF 1.5 series. The new pumps reach a flow of 1.5 cubic metres/h with only 3.8 kg weight and a current consumption of 1.0 A.

Until now design engineers often had to use oversized rotary vane pumps because smaller versions were not available.  With the VTF 1.5 Rietschle Thomas engineers integrated technologies of two different pump series.

The new pump can be installed and maintained without setting changes and adjustments. With the rotor fixed to the motor shaft, pressures of 1.0 bar and vacuum of 150 mbar (abs) are achievable in continuous operation. 

The new rotary vane pump is available in vacuum (VTF 1.5) or pressure (DTF 1.5) versions. The outlet of the vacuum version is via a sound reducing injection moulded nipple.

Typical applications for the VTF 1.5 series are automation/pick & place, lifting and vacuum clamping technology, construction and massage devices.
