Busch R5 RA 0010 C Overview
The Busch R5 RA 0010 C is part of the established Busch R5 range of oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps.
It is designed for compact machinery installations requiring reliable continuous vacuum performance, a nominal pumping capacity of 10 m³/h at 50Hz and an ultimate pressure of 0.5 mbar absolute.
The RA 0010 C is commonly installed on small chamber packaging machines, filling and sealing equipment, vacuum handling systems, printing and paper machinery and other compact production equipment.
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 pump exhaust.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with the supply of a new Busch R5 RA 0010 C where the original pump specification needs to be retained.

DVP Alternative Options
Consider the DVP MD 10 or LC12
Where an exact Busch replacement is not essential, the most suitable DVP option depends on the available installation space, required pumping speed and the operating pressure needed by the machine or process.
DVP MD 10
Closely matched compact capacity option
The DVP MD 10 provides a nominal capacity of 10 m³/h at 50Hz and 12 m³/h at 60Hz, directly matching the stated pumping capacity of the Busch R5 RA 0010 C.
It has a motor rating of 0.37 / 0.45 kW and is designed as a compact oil lubricated rotary vane pump for small packaging machines and restricted OEM installations.
Its stated final pressure is 2 mbar absolute, so the required operating pressure must be checked where the existing application depends on the Busch pump’s 0.5 mbar capability.
DVP LC12
Higher-capacity compact alternative
The DVP LC12 provides a nominal capacity of 12 m³/h at 50Hz and 14 m³/h at 60Hz, giving a modest increase in pumping speed over the Busch R5 RA 0010 C.
The LC12 has a motor rating of 0.45 / 0.54 kW and incorporates an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, floating oil recovery valve, continuous gas ballast and anti-suck-back protection.
Its stated final pressure is 2 mbar absolute, so the application should be checked where the deeper 0.5 mbar vacuum of the Busch pump is required.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Busch R5 RA 0010 C, DVP MD 10 and LC12 Comparison
The comparison below shows the principal technical figures for the Busch pump and the two DVP options. Final suitability should be checked against the machine, operating pressure, motor supply, mounting and connection requirements.
| Specification | Busch R5 RA 0010 C | DVP MD 10 | DVP LC12 |
| Pump Technology | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 10 m³/h | 10 m³/h | 12 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 12 m³/h | 12 m³/h | 14 m³/h |
| Ultimate / Final Pressure | 0.5 mbar absolute | 2 mbar absolute | 2 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 0.45 kW | 0.37 kW | 0.45 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 0.45 kW | 0.45 kW | 0.54 kW |
| Alternative Positioning | Original pump specification | Closest nominal capacity | Modest capacity increase |
Important: Required operating pressure, dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage and control arrangements should always be checked before changing pump model.
Why Consider the DVP MD 10 or LC12?
Many customers searching for a Busch R5 RA 0010 C require a compact oil lubricated vacuum pump in the 10 to 12 m³/h capacity range rather than a specific manufacturer.
The MD 10 provides the closest nominal capacity match, while the LC12 provides a modest increase in pumping speed. The correct option depends on the machine layout, required vacuum level and duty.
Matched Capacity
The DVP MD 10 provides the same stated nominal capacity as the Busch pump at both 50Hz and 60Hz.
Extra Pumping Speed
The DVP LC12 provides 12 m³/h at 50Hz, offering additional capacity where faster evacuation would be useful.
Compact Alternatives
Both DVP options are designed for compact machinery and smaller industrial vacuum applications.
