Busch SV1005C Vacuum Pump
The Busch SV1005C is a dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump developed for compact oil-free vacuum duties where clean air handling and simple routine maintenance are important.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with Busch pump supply, replacement advice and application checks. If the installation does not require the exact Busch model, the DVP SC5 can be assessed as a practical oil-free alternative.

Busch SV1005C Overview
The Busch SV1005C uses dry-running rotary vane technology, with self-lubricating carbon vanes operating without lubricating oil inside the compression chamber. That makes this type of pump particularly useful where an oil-free vacuum source is required.
At 50Hz the pump delivers 4.6 m³/h, increasing to 5.5 m³/h at 60Hz. Its stated ultimate pressure is 150 mbar absolute.
Unlike an oil-lubricated rotary vane pump, routine maintenance centres on vane condition, inlet filtration, cooling and general internal cleanliness. Carbon vanes are a normal wearing component and should be inspected before they reach their minimum permissible length.
Busch SV1005C Technical Specifications
The figures below are the key performance data for the Busch SV1005C. Electrical supply, connections, installation position and machine duty should be checked before replacement.

› vacuum handling and pick-and-place systems
› laboratory and analytical equipment
› general OEM machinery

DVP SC5
Oil-free dry-running alternative
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP SC5
Where an exact Busch replacement is not essential, the DVP SC5 can be considered as a slightly higher in capacity dry-running rotary vane alternative.
The DVP SC5 provides 5 / 6 m³/h at 50Hz / 60Hz and has a stated final pressure of 120 mbar absolute. Compared with the Busch pump, this gives a deeper stated vacuum.
Both technologies use oil-free rotary vane operation with carbon vanes, but the mounting arrangement, inlet and exhaust connections, motor details, cooling requirements and permitted operating pressure must be checked before changing pump model.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Busch SV1005C and DVP SC5 Comparison
This table compares the main performance figures. A replacement decision should also take account of dimensions, connection sizes, duty cycle, contamination risk and electrical supply.
| Model | Capacity 50Hz / 60Hz | Ultimate Vacuum | Motor 50Hz / 60Hz |
| Busch SV1005C | 4.6 / 5.5 m³/h | 150 mbar abs. | 0.14 / 0.18 kW |
| DVP SC5 | 5 / 6 m³/h | 120 mbar abs. | 0.12 / 0.15 kW |
Busch SV1005C Carbon Vanes, Filters, Spares and Repair
Many Busch SECO dry-running pumps remain in productive service for years, so maintaining the existing pump can be a sensible option. Our sister company VacAir Superstore supplies replacement components and provides workshop service and repair support for Busch dry-running rotary vane pumps.
Carbon vane condition is particularly important. Excessive vane wear can reduce vacuum performance and, if ignored, may result in damage to the rotor, cylinder or end plates.
Carbon Vanes
Replacement Busch carbon vanes for planned maintenance and overhaul work.
Filters
Inlet filters and replacement elements to help prevent dust and debris reaching the pump chamber.
Spare Parts
Service components, gaskets, seals and other replacement parts for Busch dry-running pumps.
Service & Repair
Inspection, vane replacement, fault diagnosis and workshop repair for worn or damaged pumps.
Busch SV1005C Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Busch SV1005C an oil-free vacuum pump?
Yes. It is a dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump that uses self-lubricating carbon vanes rather than oil in the pumping chamber.
What is the pumping speed?
The stated nominal capacity is 4.6 m³/h at 50Hz and 5.5 m³/h at 60Hz.
What vacuum level does it reach?
The stated ultimate pressure is 150 mbar absolute.
What DVP alternative can be considered?
The DVP SC5 is the primary alternative selected by pumping capacity and dry-running technology.
Do carbon vanes need replacing?
Yes. Carbon vanes are a wear component and should be inspected as part of planned maintenance, with replacement before they reach their minimum permitted length.
Can an existing Busch SV1005C be repaired?
Often, yes. VacAir can inspect the pump, replace vanes and service parts, and assess whether repair or replacement is the better option.
