Rotary Vane

Rotary Vane pumps and rotary vane compressors cover a wide performance range and come in dry running and oil lubcricated versions. The eco-friendly dry running rotary vanes are robust and economical needing little maintenance. The oil lubricated rotary vanes are the standard pump in numerous industrial applications.

In rotary vane technology, the rotor, the only continually moving part, has a number of slots machined along its length into which fit sliding vanes that ride on a film of oil. The rotor rotates within a cylindrical stator. During rotation, centrifugal force extends the vanes from their slots, forming individual compression cells. Rotation decreases the cell volume, increasing the air pressure. Its compact size makes it the ideal choice for customised compressed air and gas applications.
