In vacuum technology, precision and reliability are critical. Whatever the application, vacuum equipment must always provide the same level of performance in order to produce consistent results. Non-genuine components may look the same as genuine parts, but their inconsistent quality can reduce efficiency, compromise reliability, and increase total cost-of-ownership. This article explains how genuine spare parts and oil preserve vacuum pump efficiency, reliability and performance, and outlines the risks of substandard substitutes.
