A vacuum pump is a device that removes gas molecules from a sealed volume in order to keep behind a partial vacuum. The first vacuum pump was invented in 1650 by Otto von Guericke, and was preceded by the suction pump, which dates to antiquity.

Vacuum Pumps, pressure pumps, cover a wide variety of operating pressures. Laboratory/filtration vacuum pumps are for make use of in the lab or anywhere a minimal vacuum is needed; typically present both vacuum and pressure capabilities. Use tough vacuum pumps (or roughing pumps) for laboratory and commercial applications requiring an even of vacuum less than 10-3 Torr. Make use of high vacuum pressure pumps if you want vacuums greater than 10-3 Torr. Also, consider the free-air capacity needed (the bigger the free air capacity, the faster it will evacuate the chamber) and whether you need a lubricated (oiled) or non-lubricated (dry or oilless) pump. Lubricated pumps offer higher capacities, higher vacuum amounts, and lower noise, but can contaminate the system and require even more maintenance.

Industrial Vacuum Pumps
Vacuum Pumps
Our selection of industrial vacuum pumps includes oil-less and oil-flooded choices. We are able to customize a pump to suit your specific needs and offer you with guidance when it comes to selecting the most appropriate pump for you. You may expect high-quality, long-lasting results when you choose Becker vacuum pumps.

100% Oil-less Vacuum Pumps
The Ever-power KVT3.60 – 3.140 series pumps are 100% oil-much less rotary vane vacuum pumps made to operate on a continuing basis at any point from atmospheric pressure to a vacuum level of 27” HgV (75 torr). These direct drive units are supplied with a high efficiency TEFC, C-face, flange mounted electric motor. Each of these pumps has an integral vacuum relief valve, a 5μ inlet filter, and vibration isolators as standard equipment.
