Technical Brief: How Vacuum Pumps Work Operating / Installation Instructions:
VP 00-10-20-80-90 Venturi Vacuum Pump Series
Principles of Operaon
Vacuum is produced by forcing compressed air through a liming orifice (nozzle). As the air exits the orifice it
expands, increasing in velocity to supersonic speed before entering the venturi secon (diffuser). This creates
a vacuum at the vacuum inlet port located between the nozzle and diffuser. The nozzle and diffuser combine
to create a venturi vacuum cartridge. The precise fit of the nozzle to the diffuser is crical to the pump
funconing properly.
Operang and Installaon Instrucons:
1: Mount pump to your mounng hardware, end-of-arm-tool,
extrusion, etc. VP00 and VP10 model pumps have two
mounng holes that accept 4-40 (M3) screws. VP20, VP80, and
VP90 pumps have three mounng holes that accept 10-32 (M5)
screws (screws not supplied). Pumps work in any orientaon.
2. Aach air line to air supply port. Aach vacuum line to vacuum port if not directly aaching a vacuum
cup to the port. See chart on page 2 for minimum recommended sizes (tubing outer diameters are
listed).
3. Turn on compressed air and regulate to specified pressure (80 PSI standard, models with “-60”
designaon to 60 PSI – set regulator while pump is operang). The VP pump will generate vacuum
immediately.
