Vane, 1st Stage – GX – Leybold, Trivac, Part# 230052G – vacstellar

This vane is a flat, rectangular piece that slides inside the pump’s rotor. As the motor spins, this vane is pushed out against the chamber wall. It creates a seal that divides the chamber. On one side, it traps air. On the other side, it pushes that air out of the pump.

This part is for the first stage. Many pumps have two stages for extra power. The first stage does the initial heavy work of pulling air in. It handles the most stress and wear.

It is made from GX material. This is a high-grade composite material. It is designed to be very strong and wear slowly. It also slides smoothly with the right amount of friction. This is crucial for creating a good seal without damaging the pump.
