Busch R5 RA 0063 F Vacuum Pump
The Busch R5 RA 0063 F is a continuous-duty oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump providing 63 m³/h nominal pumping speed at 50Hz. It is used where production machinery needs faster evacuation, low absolute pressure and dependable operation over extended running periods.
Vacuum Pumps UK can supply a new Busch R5 RA 0063 F for replacement work, machinery builds and planned plant upgrades.
Where the installation does not have to retain the original Busch make, the DVP LC60 can be assessed as a closely matched, competitively priced alternative.

Busch R5 RA 0063 F Overview
The RA 0063 F sits within the medium-capacity section of the Busch R5 family and is intended for machinery that needs a meaningful increase in flow over smaller compact pumps.
At 63 m³/h on a 50Hz supply, it can reduce evacuation time on larger chambers and provide the sustained throughput required by repetitive production cycles. This makes it relevant to packaging lines, thermoforming equipment, handling systems and other automated machinery.
Its rotary vane mechanism operates in an oil-sealed pumping chamber. The oil supports lubrication, sealing and temperature control, while the exhaust separation system recovers lubricant carried towards the discharge.
Before supply, Vacuum Pumps UK can review the complete model code, motor plate, connection arrangement and process duty so that the proposed RA 0063 F—or an alternative pump—is correctly specified.
Busch R5 RA 0063 F Technical Specifications
These published figures identify the standard performance class of the RA 0063 F. The complete motor, voltage, frequency, inlet arrangement and fitted options should still be checked against the existing pump before an order is placed.

Busch R5 RA 0063 F Pump Features
Oil Lubricated Rotary Vane
An eccentric rotor and sliding vanes create the changing chamber volumes needed to draw in and compress the process gas.
Integrated Inlet Filter
The inlet filter gives the pump a first level of protection against larger particles carried from the machine or vacuum line.
Oil Mist Separation
Exhaust separator elements remove entrained oil from the discharged gas and return recovered lubricant to the pump circuit.
Non-Return Protection
An inlet non-return arrangement helps protect the connected system against reverse movement after shutdown.
Compact Installation
The pump provides medium-capacity performance without moving into the footprint of much larger industrial vacuum pumps.
Optional Accessories
Gas ballast, supplementary inlet filtration, vacuum regulation and oil monitoring can be considered according to the process.
Typical Busch R5 RA 0063 F Applications
The RA 0063 F is suited to machinery where cycle speed and sustained vacuum flow are more important than simply achieving vacuum in a small enclosed volume.
› Larger chamber vacuum packaging machines
› High-cycle tray sealing equipment
› Thermoforming packaging lines
› Vacuum mixing and food-processing systems
› Bottling, filling and product evacuation machinery
› Automated lifting and suction handling systems
› Vacuum clamping on machining equipment
› Paper feeding, printing and labelling machinery
› Industrial degassing and process vessels
› Centralised and dedicated machine vacuum duties
New Busch R5 RA 0063 F Vacuum Pump Supply
Where the original make must be retained, Vacuum Pumps UK can quote a new Busch R5 RA 0063 F for production machinery, OEM equipment or a planned replacement programme.
The complete suffix, electrical supply and fitted accessories matter when identifying the correct pump. We therefore check the nameplate and installation details rather than relying on the shortened model number alone.
Send us the pump plate and application details for an accurate quotation and current availability.
DVP LC60
Comparable 40 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC60
The DVP LC60 is the nearest DVP model in this performance range, providing 60 m³/h at 50Hz and 72 m³/h at 60Hz. That places it close to the Busch RA 0063 F for many machinery and production duties.
It also reaches 0.1 mbar absolute and is suitable for continuous operation across a broad industrial pressure range. Its 1.5 kW 50Hz motor rating may be attractive where the installation can accept the alternative pump.
The LC60 includes an exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil recovery valve, oil filter with by-pass, manually isolated gas ballast and anti-suck-back protection.
Because nominal flow alone does not determine compatibility, Vacuum Pumps UK will compare the mounting, inlet orientation, electrical supply, operating pressure and process conditions before recommending an LC60 conversion.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Busch R5 RA 0063 F and DVP LC60 Comparison
This comparison highlights the main published performance figures. The models are close in capacity and final pressure, but a replacement decision must also account for the physical and electrical installation.
| Specification | Busch R5 RA 0063 F | DVP LC60 |
| Pump Technology | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 63 m³/h | 60 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 76 m³/h | 72 m³/h |
| Maximum Vacuum | 0.1 mbar absolute | 0.1 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 2.0 kW | 1.5 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 2.4 kW | 1.8 kW |
| Exhaust Oil Separation | Integrated | Integrated oil damping and recovery system |
| Anti-Suck-Back Protection | Integrated non-return arrangement | Integrated anti-suck-back device |
Important: Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, control arrangements, operating pressure and process conditions should always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC60?
Customers asking for an RA 0063 F may be replacing a failed pump, specifying a new machine or trying to improve cycle time. In many of those cases, the real requirement is dependable vacuum performance in the 60 m³/h capacity range.
The LC60 allows us to offer another European-manufactured solution with close published performance, competitive pricing and direct support through the DVP UK and Ireland Master Agent.
Comparable Capacity
The LC60 delivers 60 m³/h at 50Hz, placing it close to the Busch pump’s 63 m³/h nominal capacity.
Economical Option
The LC60 can provide a more economical replacement route where the process does not insist on the Busch make.
Lower Motor Rating
At 50Hz the LC60 is rated at 1.5 kW, compared with the RA 0063 F’s stated 2.0 kW motor.
Factory-Backed Support
The pump is backed by DVP factory support, genuine parts supply and technical assistance from our UK workshop.
