Becker U 5.201 Overview
The Becker U 5.201 is a high-capacity oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for continuous industrial service where a fine vacuum level, strong pumping speed and dependable performance are required.
With a nominal pumping speed of 200 m³/h at 50Hz and 240 m³/h at 60Hz, it is suitable for larger packaging machinery, process equipment, central vacuum installations and other demanding industrial vacuum applications.
Oil within the pump lubricates the working components, assists sealing and helps control operating temperature. Integrated exhaust separation helps recover oil and reduce oil mist from the exhaust.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with the supply of a new Becker U 5.201 where the original pump specification needs to be retained.

DVP LC205
Closely matched 205 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC205
Where an exact Becker replacement is not essential, the DVP LC205 may provide a suitable and cost-effective alternative to the Becker U 5.201.
With a nominal capacity of 205 m³/h at 50Hz and 245 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC205 closely matches the stated pumping capacity of the Becker U 5.201.
The DVP LC205 has a stated final pressure of 0.5 mbar absolute, compared with ≤0.1 mbar absolute for the Becker pump. The actual operating pressure required by the machine or process must therefore be checked before recommending a change of pump model.
The LC205 is designed for continuous industrial duty and combines improved oil-air separation with quieter operation, straightforward oil inspection and simplified routine maintenance.
Standard equipment includes an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil recovery valve, continuously working gas ballast, shock mounts, an oil filter with bypass and a flexible motor coupling. An anti-suck-back arrangement helps prevent oil from being drawn into the connected system if the pump stops while operating under vacuum.
Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connections, motor voltage, operating pressure and installation arrangements must still be checked before changing pump model.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Becker U 5.201 and DVP LC205 Comparison
The comparison below shows the principal technical figures for each model. Final suitability should be checked against the machine, application and installation requirements.
| Specification | Becker U 5.201 | DVP LC205 |
| Pump Technology | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 200 m³/h | 205 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 240 m³/h | 245 m³/h |
| Maximum Vacuum | ≤0.1 mbar absolute | 0.5 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 4.0 kW | 5.5 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 4.5–4.8 kW | 6.6 kW |
| Oil Recovery System | Integrated oil separation | Automatic floating oil recovery valve |
Important: The LC205 provides closely matched pumping capacity but has a different stated final pressure and motor rating. Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, operating pressure and process conditions must always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC205?
Many customers searching for a Becker U 5.201 require a reliable 200 m³/h-class oil lubricated vacuum pump rather than a specific manufacturer.
Closely Matched Capacity
The LC205 provides 205 / 245 m³/h, closely matching the Becker pump’s 200 / 240 m³/h rating.
Cost-Effective Option
The LC205 may provide a cost-effective purchase option where an exact Becker replacement is not required.
Industrial Construction
The LC205 is designed for continuous operation on packaging, process and central vacuum applications.

Older Becker U 2.190 and U 4.190 FK and SAK Vacuum Pumps
The Becker U 5.201 follows earlier Becker oil lubricated rotary vane pumps in the same general capacity range. Older models still found on packaging machinery, printing equipment, central vacuum installations and other industrial systems include the Becker U 2.190 and Becker U 4.190, including both FK and SAK versions.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist customers looking for information, servicing, spare parts or a suitable replacement for these older Becker vacuum pump models.
Becker U 2.190 FK and U 2.190 SAK
The Becker U 2.190 was produced in FK and SAK versions and may still be installed on older packaging machines, production equipment and central vacuum systems. The exact pump arrangement should be identified from the nameplate and installation before selecting parts or a replacement.
Becker U 4.190 FK and U 4.190 SAK
The Becker U 4.190 was also supplied in FK and SAK versions and remains in service on many industrial installations. Servicing, replacement components and current replacement advice may still be required for both versions.
Replacing an older Becker vacuum pump: A replacement should not be selected from pumping capacity alone. The FK or SAK version, mounting dimensions, inlet and exhaust positions, motor voltage, electrical arrangements, operating pressure and the requirements of the connected machinery must all be checked.
Send us a photograph of the existing pump, its nameplate and the surrounding installation and we can assess a current Becker pump, the DVP LC205 or another suitable replacement.
