Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

A rotary vane vacuum pump is an oil-sealed rotary displacement pump. The pumping system consists of a housing (1), an eccentrically set up rotor (2), vanes that move radially under spring power (3) and the inlet and outlet (4). … The Rotor techniques by using a motor attached to it.

Uses. Vane pumps are generally used as high-pressure hydraulic pumps and in automobiles, including supercharging, power-steering, air-con and automatic-transmitting pumps. Pumps for mid-range pressures include applications such as carbonators for fountain soft-drink dispensers and espresso coffee machines.

The simplest vane pump has a circular rotor rotating inside a bigger circular cavity. The centers of these two circles are offset, leading to eccentricity. … The action of the vane drives out the same level of fluid with each rotation. Multistage rotary-vane vacuum pumps can attain pressures as low as 10 mbar (0.0001 Pa).
