Vacuum Pump Oil

Home / Vacuum Pump Oil

Essential for Performance, Protection, and Longevity

Oil has a major role to play in any oil-sealed vacuum pump. Good quality vacuum pump oil acts as a lubricant to reduce friction, thereby minimizing wear and tear of internal parts and improving the overall life of the pump. During operation, the vacuum pump compresses gas, which results in heat generation; increased heat leads to higher wear and reduced pump life. Vacuum pump oil helps remove heat from the pumping chamber and improves the life of components. It also provides corrosion resistance by forming a protective layer on pump parts against aggressive vapors. In the vacuum pumping chamber, the rotor is mounted eccentrically to the stator, with a minute clearance in microns between them. The oil acts as a sealing fluid in this gap, enabling the formation of suction, compression, and exhaust chambers. Better sealing quality of oil under operating conditions ensures stable and consistent vacuum pump performance.
Tekman India always recommends using good quality vacuum pump oil to maintain the high performance of oil-sealed vacuum pumps and booster pumps & offers a range of oils to support various application requirements.

Why Choose Our Industrial Vacuum Pump Oil?

Best suitable for oil-sealed vacuum pumps

  • High resistance to oxidation:
    Delivers stable performance to any application where there is high exposure to air
  • Low vapor pressure:
    Has a low vapor pressure @ 50°C < 1 x 10 -5 mm of Hg that enables to achieve lower ultimate vacuum in oil-sealed pumps
  • Moisture separation:
    Separates the moisture easily from the oil which helps to deliver stable performance in various processes where water vapor is the major load to be handled by a vacuum pump

Best suitable for oil sealed vacuum pumps and booster pumps

  • Withstand High Temperature:
    In case of air-cooled pumps, if the surrounding temperature is high, the oil life reduces quickly. TSO-100 delivers stable performance under such conditions. The viscosity of the oil is not affected by a rise in temperature.
  • Chemical Resistance:
    TSO-100 delivers better performance in handling corrosive & organic vapors compared to mineral oil. The oil does not easily mix with aggressive vapors, which helps TSO-100 synthetic oil last much longer than mineral oil.
  • High Resistance to Oxidation:
    TSO-100 delivers stable performance in applications where there is high exposure to air.

Best suitable for booster pumps

  • Excellent lubrication:
    High-performance lubricant oil used for the lubrication of gears & bearings
  • Heat resistance property:
    Has low vapor pressure and remains stable in operating under high temperature operating conditions
  • High resistance to oxidation:
    Delivers stable performance to any application where there is high exposure to air

High-performance oil best suitable for high vacuum applications

  • Chemical resistance:
    TSG-107 is non-reactive to metal substances & delivers stable performance in high temperatures. This helps TSG-107 synthetic oil last much longer compared to mineral oil.
  • Low vapor pressure:
    Has a very low vapor pressure @ 25°C < 1.3x 10-6 that enables to achieve lower ultimate vacuum in diffusion pumps.
  • High resistance to oxidation:
    Delivers stable performance to any application where there is high exposure to air like Coating / Metalizing / R&D

Why Vacuum Pump Oil from Tekman?

Tekman vacuum pump oils has high vapour pressure and hence deliver better ultimate vacuum. The oil does not lose its viscosity at higher temperature and remains stable. It does not emulsify easily with water or solvents. All above offer results into longer oil changing frequency and stable vacuum performance.

With strong expertise in vacuum technology, Tekman recommends the right oil based on operating conditions, temperature, and process requirements, ensuring optimal results for each application.

Tekman vacuum pump oils does not lose its viscosity and remain stable in high-temperature environments, continuous operations, and applications involving aggressive vapors.

Consistent oil performance helps maintain stable pumping speed at operating vacuum, improves pump efficiency, and supports smooth, uninterrupted operation.

High-quality oils and correct oil selection minimize breakdowns, maintenance frequency, and unexpected downtime, lowering overall operating costs.

Tekman’s strong service and application support ensure customers receive not only quality oil, but also expert guidance for long-term vacuum system reliability.
