General description
The GV260, GV410 and GV600 pump are rugged, reliable dry vacuum pumps designed for general vacuum use.
Each pump is a four stage, positive displacement rotary pump in which three pairs of Intermeshing claw rotors and
one pair of Roots rotors are held in correct phase relation by a pair of timing-gears. The timing-gears and the adjacent
double-row angular contact ball bearings at the low vacuum end of the pump and the roller bearings at the high
vacuum end of the pump are oil lubricated.
The GV pump is shown in
. The pump has lifting-bolts (5) and is mounted on a robust skidframe (9). Fixing
holes (8) in the skidframe can be used to secure the pump in its operating position.

WARNING
During operation, some parts of the pump become hot; these areas are identified by 'hot surface'
labels (see
). Do not touch these areas of the pump and avoid accidental contact
between these areas of the pump and electrical cables and wires.
WARNING
Do not operate the pump with a coupling cover or blanking plates removed. If you do, there will
be a risk from exposure to rotating mechanisms.
WARNING
Do not operate the pump with the pump-inlet or pump-outlet open to atmosphere. If you do, there
will be a risk from the rotating mechanisms, from the exposure to vacuum, or from hot exhaust
gases.
