Becker U4.190 SA/K Vacuum Pump
The Becker U4.190 SA/K is an oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pump intended for production machinery and central vacuum duties.
The Becker U4.190 SA/K is no longer a current Becker model and was generally superseded by later U5-series pumps. Vacuum Pumps UK can support existing installations and assess the most suitable current Becker replacement or alternative pump where a change is required.

Becker U4.190 SA/K Overview
The Becker U4.190 SA/K uses oil-lubricated rotary vane technology to provide stable vacuum performance for continuous industrial service. The oil film supports sealing inside the pumping chamber, while the pump construction is intended for reliable operation on production equipment.
With a nominal pumping speed of 190 m³/h at 50Hz and 223 m³/h at 60Hz, the pump sits within the Becker U4 range for applications where robust vacuum performance is required.
Its stated maximum vacuum is 3.0 mbar absolute at 50Hz. When replacing an existing unit, the required working pressure, pipework, motor supply and machine duty should all be checked rather than selecting by capacity alone.
The U4 series is no longer Becker’s current production range and was followed by later U5 models. However, many U4.190 SA/K pumps remain installed on production equipment, so serviceability, spare parts and repair support remain important considerations alongside replacement options.

Typical Applications

205 m³/h at 50Hz
DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC205
Where an exact Becker replacement is not essential, the DVP option can be assessed as a slightly higher-capacity alternative with substantially deeper vacuum.
The DVP LC205 provides 205 / 245 m³/h at 50Hz / 60Hz, compared with 190 / 223 m³/h for the Becker pump.
Its stated final pressure of 0.1 mbar absolute is deeper than the Becker pump’s 3.0 mbar rating.
The DVP alternative combines straightforward servicing with an integrated oil recovery arrangement, exhaust mist elimination and anti-suck-back protection.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.

Becker U4.190 SA/K Spare Parts, Oil Separators, Oil, Service and Repair
Our sister company, VacAir Superstore, can help keep existing pumps in service with replacement components, consumables, fault investigation and workshop overhaul facilities.
VacAir Superstore supplies OEM and replacement components and service support for Becker oil lubricated rotary vane pumps, including older U4 models that may remain in service for many years.
Whether the requirement is routine maintenance, reduced vacuum performance, excessive oil mist, oil leaks, overheating, unusual noise or a complete pump failure, the existing pump can be assessed before replacement is considered.
Spare Parts
Replacement parts for routine maintenance and mechanical repair of the Becker U4.190 SA/K, including seals, gaskets, filters and other service components subject to pump version and availability.
Oil Separators
Replacement exhaust oil separators are an important service item on oil lubricated pumps. Worn or saturated separators can contribute to exhaust smoke, oil mist and increased back pressure.
Vacuum Pump Oil
Correct vacuum pump oil is essential for lubrication, sealing and temperature control. VacAir can advise on suitable oil for routine changes and service work on Becker oil lubricated pumps.
Service & Maintenance
Planned servicing can help maintain vacuum performance and reduce the risk of production stoppages. Service work can include oil and filter changes, separator replacement, inspection and performance checks.
Repair & Overhaul
If the pump has lost vacuum, become noisy, is passing excessive oil or has suffered internal wear, VacAir can inspect the unit and advise whether repair or a full workshop overhaul is economically worthwhile.
Becker U4.190 SA/K Frequently Asked Questions
What type of pump is the Becker U4.190 SA/K?
It is an oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for continuous industrial vacuum duty.
What is the pumping capacity?
The stated nominal capacity is 190 m³/h at 50Hz and 223 m³/h at 60Hz.
What vacuum level does it achieve?
The stated maximum vacuum is 3.0 mbar absolute at 50Hz and 3.0 mbar absolute at 60Hz.
What DVP alternative can be considered?
DVP LC205 can be assessed depending on the required flow, final pressure and installation details.
Is the DVP pump a direct replacement?
Not automatically. Capacity, vacuum level, dimensions, pipe connections, motor rating and electrical supply should be checked before changing pump model.
Is the Becker U4.190 SA/K still a current Becker model?
No. The U4 range was superseded by later U5-series pumps. Many U4 units remain in service, and Vacuum Pumps UK / VacAir can support repair, servicing, spare parts and replacement selection.
