There are many reasons that threaten the health of vacuum pumps. Lack of installation of oil mist filters may cause impurities to enter the vacuum pump and directly damage it. What’s more, the daily wear and tear of vacuum pumps! It cannot be avoided. However, we can learn about the maintenance of vacuum pumps and minimize the wear and tear.
The biggest loss of a vacuum pump is the wear between its components, which often occurs in the gears, cylinders, blades, rotor sliding bearings, and rolling bearings inside the vacuum pump. Minor daily wear and tear can affect the sealing performance of a vacuum pump. And over time, severe wear and tear can render the vacuum pump unusable. In addition to internal components, external components may also experience wear and tear. When purchasing a vacuum pump, especially a refurbished second-hand vacuum pump, it is important to check the internal and external parts of the vacuum pump. Choose high-quality vacuum pumps as much as possible, which can save a lot of maintenance costs.
Vacuum pumps also experience fatigue. The vacuum pump may be affected by alternating loads during long-term operation, and its components may be damaged. Bolts, anchor bolts, springs, and other components often experience wear and tear due to long-term work. Therefore, it is important to stop the machine appropriately and let the vacuum pump rest.

In some industries, especially the chemical industry, vacuum pumps may be corroded. If corrosive substances enter vacuum pump from the inlet port, a suitable inlet filter can be adopted for protection. For less corrosive materials, we can use stainless steel housings and elements for filtration. For highly corrosive or special chemical substances, we can choose higher grade stainless steel and use certain materials to neutralize the chemicals.
However, working environments with corrosive substances are often difficult to handle, and we are constantly learning and improving.
