Becker U4.70 SA/K Vacuum Pump
The Becker U4.70 SA/K is an established oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump that remains widely encountered on industrial machinery and production equipment.
The U4.70 series is no longer part of Becker’s current production range and was followed by U5 models. However, spare parts and service support remain available from Vacuum Pumps UK, alongside certified refurbished pumps.
Support your existing Becker pump or ask us to assess a suitable replacement.

Becker U4.70 SA/K Overview
The Becker U4.70 SA/K uses oil lubricated rotary vane technology to provide stable vacuum performance for continuous industrial machinery.
Its 63 m³/h nominal pumping speed at 50Hz made it a useful mid-range pump for packaging, handling and general process vacuum duties.
These pumps are no longer current Becker production models, but many remain in daily service. For that reason, maintenance, parts availability, repair and overhaul remain an important part of the support offered for the U4 range.
Where replacement becomes necessary, Vacuum Pumps UK can assess the original duty and compare current Becker options, a suitable DVP LC pump or another appropriate solution.

Current DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC60
For applications where retaining the original Becker model is not essential, the DVP LC60 is a particularly close capacity match.
The DVP LC60 provides 60 / 72 m³/h at 50Hz / 60Hz, compared with 63 / 74 m³/h for the Becker pump.
The LC60 reaches a stated final pressure of 0.1 mbar absolute, considerably deeper than the 3.0 mbar absolute rating of the SA/K version.
Its motor rating is 1.5 / 1.8 kW. Dimensions, connection positions, motor voltage, pipework and the actual operating duty must still be checked before any replacement is selected.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.

Becker U4.70 SA/K Spare Parts, Oil Separators, Oil, Service and Repair
The Becker U4 range may no longer be current production, but many pumps are still operating every day and can remain economical to maintain for years. VacAir Superstore supports these installations with consumables, replacement parts, routine servicing and full workshop repair.
Keeping an existing U4 pump in reliable service can often be the most practical option where the machine, pipework and production process are already built around it.
Support is available for reduced vacuum, exhaust oil mist, oil leaks, overheating, unusual noise, poor starting, contamination and internal wear. Where repair is not economical, Vacuum Pumps UK can then help assess a replacement.
Spare Parts
Replacement service and repair components for the Becker U4.70 SA/K, subject to pump version and availability. We can assist with seals, gaskets, filters and other mechanical parts required to keep existing pumps operating.
Oil Separators
Exhaust oil separators are a key maintenance item. Saturated or damaged separators can cause visible oil mist, increased exhaust restriction and unnecessary oil consumption.
Vacuum Pump Oil
Correct oil helps provide lubrication, sealing and temperature control. VacAir can advise on suitable vacuum pump oil for routine servicing, oil changes and workshop repairs.
Service & Maintenance
Planned maintenance can include oil and filter changes, separator replacement, inspection, cleaning and performance checks to help prevent production stoppages and maintain vacuum performance.
Repair & Overhaul
If an older U4 pump has lost performance or suffered internal wear, VacAir can inspect it and advise whether a repair or complete workshop overhaul offers a sensible alternative to replacement.
Becker U4.70 SA/K Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Becker U4.70 SA/K still a current Becker model?
No. The U4 series is no longer part of Becker’s current production range and was followed by later O5 or U5 models.

Yes. Many U4 pumps remain in service. Vacuum Pumps UK and VacAir can assist with spare parts, oil separators, oil, servicing, repairs and refurbished pumps.
What is the nominal capacity?
The stated capacity is 63 m³/h at 50Hz and 74 m³/h at 60Hz.
What vacuum level does this version achieve?
The stated maximum vacuum is 3.0 mbar absolute.
What DVP alternative can be considered?
The DVP LC60 can be assessed as a current oil lubricated rotary vane alternative, subject to application and installation checks.
Does the DVP pump provide a deeper vacuum?
Yes. The DVP LC60 is rated to 0.1 mbar absolute, compared with 3.0 mbar absolute for this Becker version.
