VC Series
Oil-lubricated industrial rotary vane pumps including the VC50 through VC500 classes. Shop by exact model for repair kits, vanes, seals, filters, and related parts.
Browse VC Series Kits & Parts →Use this Resource Center to identify, maintain, troubleshoot, and rebuild supported Rietschle, Elmo Rietschle, and Gardner Denver rotary vane vacuum pumps.
Vacuum Pump Supply supports the installed base with model-specific OEM-equivalent repair kits, vanes, seals, gaskets, filters, oil, maintenance products, diagrams, and technical resources.
If replacement is more practical than repair, the industrial oil-lubricated models can also be compared with selected Edwards nES/ES and Leybold SOGEVAC pumps.
Send the complete model, serial number, full suffix or generation, a clear nameplate photo, and any known part numbers. For replacement-pump help, also include voltage, phase, inlet and exhaust connections, process, and required vacuum level.
Start with the family shown on the nameplate. Oil-lubricated and dry-running rotary vane pumps use different service products and maintenance procedures.
Oil-lubricated industrial rotary vane pumps including the VC50 through VC500 classes. Shop by exact model for repair kits, vanes, seals, filters, and related parts.
Browse VC Series Kits & Parts →Compact oil-lubricated rotary vane families. Confirm whether the nameplate shows VCA, VCE, VCAH, VCEH, or another suffix before ordering.
Browse VCA Series →Oil-lubricated rotary vane families used in industrial vacuum service. Match the full model and production configuration when selecting a maintenance or repair kit.
Browse VCS Series →Dry-running rotary vane pumps use carbon vanes and do not use oil in the pumping chamber. Focus maintenance on vane wear, filtration, cooling, and clean airflow.
Browse VTE Series →Choose the exact model shown on the pump. Similar model numbers do not guarantee identical vanes, seals, filters, or rebuild components.

Vacuum Pump Supply does not sell new Rietschle pumps. If repair is no longer economical, these Edwards and Leybold families provide useful industrial single-stage comparison points.
| Rietschle Starting Model | Leybold SOGEVAC Comparison | Edwards Comparison | Use This As |
|---|---|---|---|
| VGD10 / small VC class | SV25D class | nES25 class | Small industrial oil-sealed starting point |
| VC50 | SV40B class | nES40 / ES40 class | Approximate industrial flow class |
| VC75 | SV65B class | nES63 / ES65 class | Approximate industrial flow class |
| VC100 | SV100B class | nES100 / ES100 class | Approximate industrial flow class |
| VC150 | SV120B or SV220B class | nES160 / ES160 class | Confirm actual required capacity and duty |
| VC202 | SV220B class | nES200 / ES200 class | Approximate industrial flow class |
| VC303 | SV300B or SV320B class | nES300 / ES300 class | Confirm process load and motor configuration |
| VC500 | SV630B class | nES630 / ES630 class | Large industrial replacement starting point |
Why Edwards nES/ES and Leybold SOGEVAC? These are industrial single-stage oil-sealed rotary vane families that more closely match the operating class of many Rietschle VC, VCS, and VGD pumps. Edwards RV and E2M pumps are two-stage laboratory and high-vacuum designs and should not be treated as direct substitutes for these industrial models.
Use the maintenance approach that matches the pump technology shown on the nameplate.

This center covers the current Vacuum Pump Supply support categories for VC, VCA, VCE, VCS, VGD, VTE, and VLT rotary vane pumps. Contact us if the exact model is not shown.
Often there is a reasonable industrial flow-class starting point, but the pumps are not automatically interchangeable. Verify vacuum performance, motor and electrical requirements, connections, footprint, oil, process compatibility, cooling, and duty before selecting a replacement.
Usually not for the VC, VCS, or VGD industrial single-stage class. Edwards nES/ES and Leybold SOGEVAC are generally more appropriate comparison families. Edwards E2M and RV pumps are two-stage designs intended for a different operating class.
No oil is used in the pumping chamber of these dry-running rotary vane families. Their maintenance centers on carbon vanes, filters, gaskets, cooling, and clean airflow. Always follow the instructions for the exact model.
Send the complete model, serial number, suffix or generation, clear nameplate photos, and any known part numbers. For a replacement pump, also include voltage, phase, frequency, inlet and exhaust size, required pumping speed and vacuum level, process gas, and duty cycle.
Send the complete pump information and photos. Vacuum Pump Supply can help identify the correct OEM-equivalent service products or compare an appropriate Edwards or Leybold industrial replacement.
