Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
Gast rotary vane vacuum pumps & compressors are designed for continuous-duty & low-pressure pumping applications. They feature a 50 / 60 Hz, eccentrically placed motor capable of producing power up to 1.5 HP. The pumps are permanently lubricated via an oil chamber and have self-adjusting & self-lubricating vanes, as well as a 10 ft power cord. These rotary vane vacuum pumps are available in port sizes of 3/8, 1/4 and 3/4 inch NPT on Raptor Supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the airflow pulse-free?
The vacuum and pressure flow is free of pulsation because the inlet and exhaust ports do not have valves and the air moves continuously rather than intermittently.
What is the advantage of a muffler?
These pumps include a muffler to suppress sound and allow low operating noise levels up to 38 dB
What are rotary vane pumps used for?
These pumps are used in high-pressure hydraulic pumps and in automobiles, such as supercharging, power steering and air conditioning. They are also used in mid-range pressures, including carbonators for fountain soft-drink dispensers and espresso coffee machines.
What is the purpose of oil-free design?
The oil-free design compressor does not use any lubrication in the compression / vacuum chamber. Instead, they are coated in special friction-reducing chemicals designed to be self-lubricating, preventing the wear of critical components.
Do these Gast rotary vane pumps come in single phase supply variants only?
Most of the rotary vane pumps are available in single phase but the brand's 7Z783 & 1423-103Q-G625 units are available in three-phase configuration.
