Gast VG-010-00-00 Venturi Vacuum Generator 0.95 Cfm

Product Description

The GAST VG-010-00-00 is a single-stage venturi vacuum generator designed for pneumatic and industrial vacuum applications. Operating without moving parts, it uses compressed air flow through a venturi nozzle to create vacuum pressure, making it a low-maintenance option for applications where simplicity and reliability matter. The unit delivers an open flow rate of 0.95 CFM with a maximum vacuum level of 27 inches of mercury (in/Hg) and draws 1.6 CFM of supply air during operation. The vacuum port is 1/8 FPT, and the unit is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 30-3/4 psi. At 1 pound and a compact 5.29 inches long by 2 inches wide by 2 inches high, it fits easily into tight panel or manifold installations.

This vacuum generator suits light-duty industrial, automation, and process control applications where a vacuum source is needed without a dedicated pump. Typical install scenarios include pick-and-place systems, vacuum chucking, small-scale material handling, and pneumatic control circuits. It is well suited for use in environments where compressed air is already available and a compact inline vacuum source is preferred. Licensed mechanical and industrial technicians as well as automation system integrators are the primary installers of this type of component.

Key Features

• Single-stage venturi design with no moving parts for low-maintenance operation
• 0.95 CFM open flow vacuum output
• 27 in/Hg maximum vacuum pressure
• 1/8 FPT vacuum port for standard pneumatic fittings
• Maximum inlet pressure of 30-3/4 psi
• Compact footprint: 5.29 inches long by 2 inches wide by 2 inches high

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement venturi vacuum generator for pneumatic systems using standard 1/8 FPT port connections and compressed air supplies within the rated pressure range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified pneumatic system technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Shut off and bleed all compressed air supply lines before making or breaking any connections. Ensure supply air pressure does not exceed the 30-3/4 psi maximum rated inlet pressure. Verify all fittings are rated for the operating pressure and that thread sealant compatible with pneumatic systems is applied to FPT connections before tightening.
