DVP SC8CC 24V DC Dry-Running Vacuum Pump
The DVP SC8CC is a compact dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump powered by a 24V DC motor for mobile equipment, vehicle-mounted systems and industrial machinery where a conventional AC electrical supply is not available.
Delivering a nominal pumping capacity of 8 m³/h and an ultimate vacuum of 150 mbar absolute, the SC8CC combines oil-free operation, compact construction, oxidation-resistant internal components and straightforward motor connection and maintenance.

DVP SC8CC Overview
The DVP SC8CC is a compact direct-current dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump designed for industrial applications requiring oil-free operation from a 24V DC electrical supply.
Its compact construction allows the pump to be installed in restricted spaces, provided that sufficient ventilation is available around the motor and pump body.
The SC8CC provides a nominal pumping speed of 8 m³/h and reaches a stated ultimate vacuum of 150 mbar absolute. The listed motor power is 0.28 kW.
The 24V DC motor is fitted with an externally accessible electrical connector and brush holder. This simplifies electrical connection and allows the motor brushes to be inspected or replaced without unnecessary dismantling.
An internal anti-interference device is incorporated into the motor to support electromagnetic compatibility within electrical and electronic equipment.
The SC8CC can operate as either a vacuum pump or a compressor, subject to confirmation of the required pressure, airflow and operating conditions.
Typical SC8CC Applications
The SC8CC is suited to compact, mobile or remotely powered machinery requiring oil-free vacuum or pressure from a 24V DC supply.
Mobile and vehicle-mounted equipment
Food and beverage machinery
Packaging equipment
Plastic, rubber and resin processing
Analytical and sampling equipment
Printing and paper-handling machinery
Screen-printing equipment
Wood presses and compact vacuum fixtures
Suction lifting machinery
Pollutant sampling and analysis
Why Choose a 24V DC Vacuum Pump?
A 24V DC vacuum pump can be used where mains AC power is unavailable, unsuitable or inconvenient.
This makes the SC8CC particularly useful for vehicle-mounted equipment, battery-powered machinery, mobile systems and installations with an existing 24V DC electrical architecture.
The electrical supply must be capable of providing the required voltage and current without excessive voltage drop, particularly during start-up and operation under load.
Vacuum Pumps UK can help review the electrical supply, duty cycle and application before confirming the SC8CC specification.
Key SC8CC Features
24V DC Motor
The direct-current motor allows the pump to operate from suitable 24V DC electrical systems rather than a conventional mains AC supply.
Oil-Free Vacuum and Pressure
The SC8CC operates without lubricating oil in the pumping chamber and may also be used for suitable compressor applications.
Externally Accessible Brushes
The motor brush holder is accessible externally, simplifying inspection and replacement during planned maintenance.
Oxidation-Resistant Treatment
The rotor, pump body and cover receive an NPO treatment intended to improve resistance to oxidation.
Motor Connection and Maintenance
The SC8CC motor includes an externally accessible electrical connector, helping simplify installation within mobile and industrial equipment.
The brush holder can also be reached externally. This allows the motor brushes to be inspected and replaced more easily than on motors requiring extensive dismantling.
Brush condition should form part of the planned maintenance schedule, particularly where the pump operates frequently or for extended periods.
Electrical wiring, protection and switching should be specified for the motor’s operating current and installed by a competent person.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The 24V DC motor includes an internal anti-interference device designed to reduce electrical interference generated during operation.
This is particularly relevant where the pump is installed alongside control systems, instrumentation, communications equipment or other sensitive electrical components.
The complete machine installation should still use suitable wiring, earthing, routing and electrical protection to maintain reliable operation.
Using the SC8CC for Vacuum or Pressure
The DVP SC8CC can operate as a dry-running vacuum pump and may also be used as a compressor.
The correct configuration depends on the required airflow, operating vacuum or pressure, duty cycle, ambient temperature and surrounding installation conditions.
Our technical team can review the application before confirming whether the SC8CC is suitable for the intended vacuum or pressure duty.
Cooling and Installation
The SC8CC is designed for installation within restricted spaces, but sufficient ventilation must be maintained around the pump and motor.
Restricted cooling airflow can increase the internal operating temperature, potentially shortening vane and motor-brush life.
The installation should also provide access to the electrical connector, external brush holder, inlet filtration and routine service points.
Where the pump is installed inside an enclosure, additional forced ventilation may be required depending on the ambient temperature and duty cycle.
Oxidation-Resistant Pump Components
The rotor, pump body and cover receive an NPO surface treatment intended to improve resistance to oxidation.
This provides additional protection for important internal and external pump components, particularly where the surrounding environment may expose the pump to changing temperatures or humidity.
The treatment does not remove the need for suitable inlet filtration or correct environmental protection, and the pump should not be exposed to liquids or unsuitable corrosive gases.
Carbon Vanes and Planned Maintenance
The SC8CC uses self-lubricating carbon vanes to form the moving pumping chambers required for dry-running vacuum generation.
The vanes gradually shorten through normal contact with the internal bore and should be inspected at intervals based on running hours, inlet cleanliness, temperature, operating vacuum and duty cycle.
The DC motor brushes are also wearing components and should be included within the pump’s planned inspection schedule.
Vacuum Pumps UK and our sister company, VacAir Superstore, can provide carbon vanes, brushes, filters, seals, gaskets and service parts for the DVP SC8CC.
Should You Repair or Replace the Existing Pump?
An SC8CC that has gradually lost performance may only require new carbon vanes, motor brushes, filtration, seals or workshop attention rather than complete replacement.
Replacement becomes more attractive where the motor or pump has suffered significant damage, breakdowns are recurring, output has fallen or repair costs have become uneconomical.
We can assess both options and help you decide whether servicing, overhaul or a new SC8CC offers the better long-term result.
Replacement Pump Guide
Replacing an 8 m³/h DC Pump?
The SC8CC is intended for applications requiring approximately 8 m³/h of oil-free pumping capacity from a compact 24V DC rotary vane pump.
Check the Electrical Supply
The replacement installation must provide a stable 24V DC supply with sufficient current capacity and suitable wiring, switching and electrical protection.
Vacuum or Compressor Duty?
The intended use as a vacuum pump or compressor should be confirmed, together with the normal operating vacuum or pressure and required airflow.
Check the Installation
We can compare the available space, mounting, pipe connection, ventilation, duty cycle and environmental conditions before confirming suitability.
