Girovac supplies vacuum pumps, spares and technical support to the aviation sector. We help ground support crews, maintenance workshops and equipment teams source the vacuum equipment they need, from a replacement pump in an existing rig to a new workshop vacuum requirement.
Send us the equipment reference, required vacuum and operating conditions. We can then review the pump, connections, measurement and service parts together, with the proposed supply and lead time confirmed in your quotation.

Vacuum equipment for ground crews and MRO workshops
For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), the starting point is the ground equipment specification and the task it has to perform. A replacement must match more than the name on the pump: working pressure, pumping speed, electrical supply, fittings and the substances entering the line all affect the selection.
Planned maintenance and pump repairsArrange an assessment of existing vacuum equipment or identify oil, seals, vanes and service kits. Include the fault, operating hours and process history.Discuss servicing →
Workshop vacuum measurementSpecify gauges for the pressure range and test points used by your equipment. Match the indication, output and calibration scope to the job.Choose measurement equipment →
Composite processing requirementsExplore vacuum supply options for composite work. For an aircraft repair task, provide the specified process and tooling requirements before selecting equipment.Explore composite vacuum →
Pump ranges to discuss for your installation
These catalogue routes give your engineering team a practical starting point. Suitability depends on the complete ground support or workshop duty; a catalogue listing is not an aircraft-specific approval.
DVP RC 8MA compact, oil-sealed rotary vane option to review against an existing rig specification. The product page includes the manufacturer’s data, pressure figures and documentation.View RC 8M specifications →
MIL’S EVISA E65.ROil-lubricated rotary vane equipment for an industrial vacuum requirement. Review the pumping curve at your operating pressure and the exact electrical version.View EVISA E65.R specifications →For other capacities and technologies, compare the DVP pump families, MIL’S EVISA and SIRELLA ranges, Edwards equipment and Leybold catalogue. Where the specification calls for a dry pumping chamber, start with the DVP SC range and confirm the pressure, gas compatibility and filtration requirements.
Build the supporting equipment into the enquiry
A pump is one part of the installation. Include vacuum gauges and instrumentation, line connections and any required protection against liquids, particles or vapours. Where a maintenance process requires recorded measurements, specify the useful pressure range and certificate requirements through our gauge calibration service.
For ongoing maintenance, use the model and serial number to identify spares and service kits and the correct vacuum pump oils and greases. Describe any fluid or vapour exposure rather than assuming that an industrial vacuum pump can handle the process unchanged.

- The equipment: pump make, complete model and serial number, a nameplate photograph, and the ground support equipment or rig reference.
- The task: the required working pressure, pumping speed or evacuation time, operating cycle and applicable equipment specification.
- The process: gases, vapours, fluids or particles that may enter the line, plus any cleanliness or hazardous-area requirements.
- The installation: voltage, phase, frequency, connections, mounting space, exhaust arrangements and whether the equipment is mobile.
- The supply requirement: quantity, delivery location, required date, documentation and calibration scope. Tell us which accessories must be included.
Use the catalogue search if you already have a model or part number, or send the details through our enquiry form. For time-sensitive maintenance, call with the equipment reference so availability can be checked.
Aviation and ground support questions
Can Girovac source a replacement pump for an existing ground support rig?
Yes, we can investigate the requirement using the pump nameplate and the rig manufacturer’s specification. Start with our specialist sourcing service. Any alternative needs its pressure, capacity, interfaces and compatibility checked against the equipment requirements.
Which vacuum pump should we choose for aircraft maintenance equipment?
There is no single pump for every maintenance task. Compare the specified duty with the documented pump performance. The DVP RC 8M and MIL’S EVISA E65.R pages provide starting points for different equipment requirements. Send the specification before choosing a replacement.
Can you help with composite repair vacuum equipment?
We can review the vacuum supply requirement against the process specification. Our composite processing guide links to MIL’S COMPOSITVAC equipment. COMPOSITVAC documentation covers composite processing; the configuration still needs assessment against the particular aircraft repair procedure.
Can gauges and calibration be included?
Yes. Include the gauge or transducer, operating pressure range and required test points in your enquiry. Our calibration service confirms the scope and certificate requirements for the requested work.
Are these pumps approved for installation on an aircraft?
This page concerns ground support and workshop vacuum equipment. It does not establish airworthiness approval for an onboard component. Specify any required equipment approval or conformity documentation at enquiry stage so the supply can be assessed correctly.
