EM vacuum pumps

EM vacuum pumps are a type of vacuum pump used in a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. They are known for their high reliability and efficiency, as well as their versatility and ease of use. In this article, we will explore EM pumps in more detail, including their operation, applications, and maintenance.

EM vacuum pumps operate using a rotating vane that is housed within a cylindrical casing. The vane is driven by a motor and creates a vacuum by drawing air or gas out of the casing. This process is repeated continuously, gradually lowering the pressure in the casing until the desired vacuum level is achieved.

What is an EM Vacuum Pump?

An EM vacuum pump is an oil-lubricated rotary vane pump that generates vacuum through the rotation of a precisely balanced rotor inside a cylindrical housing. As the rotor spins, the sliding vanes create variable chambers that draw in and compress gas, effectively reducing the pressure to achieve the desired vacuum level.

This design allows EM pumps to operate efficiently within the rough and medium vacuum range, typically down to 0.001 mbar, making them ideal for both standalone and system-integrated setups.

Key advantages of EM vacuum pumps

High reliability: Proven rotary vane technology ensures stable operation and long service life.
Powerful performance: High pumping speed across a wide pressure range.
Oil-lubricated design: Enhances sealing efficiency and cooling, ideal for continuous duty.
Low vibration and noise: Suitable for laboratory and cleanroom environments.
Easy maintenance: Modular design for quick servicing and oil replacement.

Applications of EM vacuum pumps

EM vacuum pumps are used in numerous industrial and laboratory applications, including:

  • Vacuum drying and degassing
  • Freeze-drying (lyophilisation)
  • Vacuum coating and sputtering
  • Analytical instruments and R&D setups
  • Central vacuum systems
  • Leak testing and packaging

Comparison: EM vs diaphragm pumps

While diaphragm pumps offer oil-free operation and chemical resistance, EM rotary vane pumps deliver deeper vacuum levels and higher flow rates, making them suitable for industrial or high-performance laboratory processes.

For chemically aggressive environments, consider our membrane pumps or vacuum pumps for industry.
