Piston rings reduce air leakage through the shaft openings in the well-vented headplates, and lip-type oil seals prevent lubricant from entering the air chamber and providing oil-free compression. The ROOTS® RCS incorporates splash oil lubrication at both ends of the blower. All units are designed with detachable rugged steel mounting feet, which permit in-field adaptability to either vertical or horizontal installation requirements. The top shaft is extended for drive on side outlet blowers, and either shaft can be extended for drive on top or bottom outlet blowers. All frame sizes are center-timed to allow rotation in either direction.

Key Features

• Center-timed for rotation in either direction
• Alloy steel timing gears
• Cylindrical roller bearings (Cylindrical roller bearings are used on the drive end with ball bearings on the gear end.)
• Piston ring air seals
• Uni-directional hydrodynamic seals are available as an option
• Splash oil lubrication
• High volumetric efficiency

• Efficient Sealing Mechanisms: Piston rings and lip-type oil seals minimize air leakage and prevent lubricant from entering the air chamber, with a hydrodynamic seal on the drive shaft preventing oil leaks.
• Effective Lubrication: RCS 800 blowers incorporate splash oil lubrication at both ends for smooth and reliable performance.
• Versatile Shaft Options: The top shaft is extended for drive on side outlet vacuum exhausters, and the left or right shaft can be extended for drive on bottom outlet vacuum exhausters.
• Frame Size Flexibility: All frame sizes are center-timed, allowing rotation in either direction for enhanced versatility.
