Vacuum Pump Cross Reference Chart

Compare Busch, Becker, Leybold, Edwards, Welch, Alcatel / Adixen, Varian / Agilent, and other common vacuum pump families.

Use this vacuum pump cross-reference guide to compare common industrial and laboratory pump models by pump family, flow class, vacuum level, horsepower, and service direction.

This page is designed for maintenance teams, lab managers, buyers, and service departments trying to identify comparable pump classes, repair kits, oils, filters, or replacement pump options.

Important: Similar CFM does not automatically mean two pumps are direct replacements. Always verify ultimate vacuum, voltage, motor specs, inlet/outlet connections, footprint, process compatibility, and duty cycle before substituting one pump for another.

How to Use This Cross Reference Page

Use the data first, then move into service pages and resources

  • Use CFM / flow to compare pumping speed.
  • Use ultimate vacuum to compare achievable depth of vacuum.
  • Use horsepower and family type to judge operating class.
  • Verify voltage, frequency, connections, and footprint before treating any model as a direct replacement.
  • Use the linked family pages to move from comparison into repair kits, oils, manuals, and service parts.

Need help identifying an equivalent pump?

Send us your current pump model, application, and any nameplate details you have. We can help point you toward the right repair kit, oil, or replacement direction.

Are these exact one-to-one replacements?

No. These are practical cross-reference comparisons by family and service class. Final selection should always be based on full technical review.

Why are some pumps grouped by family instead of every catalog variant?

Because buyers usually start by identifying the correct pump family and size class before narrowing down voltage, motor, and connection details.

What matters more: CFM or ultimate vacuum?

Both matter. CFM affects evacuation speed, while ultimate vacuum affects how deep the system can pull. The correct balance depends on the application.

Can I use this page to find repair parts too?

Yes. Use the linked family pages and resources to move from pump comparison into kits, oils, manuals, and service parts.
