Vane, Oil pump – GX, Edwards, E1/E2M, Part# 20402098FR

This vane is made from GX material. GX is a high-strength polymer that offers several important properties :

1. Thermally stable – It handles the heat inside the pump without warping or melting.

2. Corrosion resistant – It withstands harsh process gases that would damage metal parts.

3. Low friction – It slides smoothly against other surfaces.

4. Long lasting – It wears slowly, so your pump runs longer between services.

GX vanes are made of a G11 fiberglass composite laminate material. They are known for their high tensile strength and low moisture absorption . This material is used by many major pump manufacturers such as Edwards, Becker, Leybold, and Busch .
