GAST Pumps
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GAST Pumps from 3G Electric.
How do I choose between a GAST rotary vane and a rocking piston pump?
Rotary vane pumps offer continuous duty and higher vacuum levels, ideal for applications like vacuum clamping or packaging. Rocking piston pumps provide higher flow at lower vacuum, suited for intermittent duty such as pneumatic conveying. Consider your required vacuum depth, flow, and duty cycle to decide.
Are GAST vacuum pump oils interchangeable across models?
No. GAST specifies different oils for rotary vane versus other pump types, and viscosity grades vary by model. Using the wrong oil can reduce performance or damage the pump. Check your pump's manual or contact us to confirm the correct oil for your specific GAST model.
