Benefits of Thomas Rotary Vane Compressors and Pumps
These oil-less and self-lubricating units provide the highest flow-to-size ratio and the lowest pulsation among all five gas technologies offered by Thomas. Rotary vane technology can feature an orientation of vanes that allows for a reversible direction of flow in selected series. This makes them suitable for applications requiring active inflation and deflation, such as in medical compression sleeves for deep vein thrombosis, or intake and outtake motion.
If you are looking for high performance in a compact-sized unit, as well as high flow with minimal back pressure, Thomas rotary vane compressors and pumps are a recommended solution.

Tailored to Your Pumping Needs
Thomas’ Rotary Vane pumps and compressors can be customized to meet even the most complex requirements of the customer. On top of that, their design allows them to tailor the performance by adjusting the number of vanes, varying the component materials and motor selection to meet the performance range required in a given application.
We offer a selection of plastic and carbon head/vane materials that can be selected based on the operating environment or media being pumped.
Plastic head and vane configured models are recommended for use in humid environments due to moisture tolerance. Carbon head and vane components provide improved performance compared to plastic parts. Carbon components reduce leakage, improve sound quality, and offer more precise tolerances.
Apart from the different composite materials, our engineers can customize the number of vanes in the pump head and their orientation, enabling the pump head to run also in reverse motion.
