Manual 1843 Rev B p/n 001843 0000

The KT Series pumps covered by this manual

have an oil circulating pump to provide adequate

lubrication at all pressures, including atmosphere.

The vacuum pump has three cams and pistons

pumping in parallel, driven by a common shaft.

The cams are positioned on the shaft so they

dynamically balance moving parts. This balancing

technique applied to the Rotary Piston Principle,

developed by Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems,

virtually eliminates vibration.

Figure 4-1 – General Operation Principle

shows

a cross section of the pump with the pistons

being driven by the cams and revolving within the

cylinder.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Gas is drawn into the pump through a common

inlet, channeled to the three piston slides and

into the space behind the pistons as they rotate.

The gas ahead of the pistons is compressed and

forced out of the discharge valves. As the gas is

forced through the pump, sealing oil is mixed with

the discharged gas and the discharged mixture is

channeled into the separator, which is located in

the reservoir. There the gas is separated from the

oil. Sealing and lubricating oil is provided by the

oil pump, which is mounted on the non-drive head

and driven by direct coupling to the vacuum pump

drive shaft. The oil pump provides forced feed oil

circulation at all operating pressures, including

atmosphere.

All models have a channeled drive shaft with an

opening at each cam to distribute oil through the

pump.

Oil is taken from the reservoir at a point some

distance above the reservoir bottom. This provides

an area for impurities to collect for draining.
