PROFILE OF OUR CAPABILITIES
Two years after it was founded in 1902, Kinney introduced the world's first
rotary pump. Then in 1926, Kinney developed a vacuum pump for use in large
commercial operations. Just as these pumps helped change the face of America
by making it possible to mass produce products such as light bulbs, radio tubes,
refrigerator and air conditioner components, constant research and innovative
manufacturing techniques has continued to spearhead Kinney's leadership in
the design and manufacture of oil-sealed rotary piston vacuum pumps.
And today, the remarkable long life and reliability of Kinney pumps is testimony
to the soundness of the basic rotary piston principle with the elimination of
metal-to-metal contact in the pumping chamber.
The Kinney line of oil-sealed piston pumps covers a wide range of sizes in
both single stage and compound pump design and as part of Tuthill Vacuum &
Blower Systems, our full line capability lets us service a host of major industries
worldwide (see Application chart on pages 4-5). Our wide selection offers
Kinney customers a highly reliable, single source for pumps as well as their
installation, service and technical know-how. You can rely on the Kinney line!

INTRODUCTION 1
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The Efficiency and Long-Term Reliability of the Kinney Rotary Piston
Pump is the Result of the Time-Tested Design.
1. The rotary piston does not spin on its axis. It moves in a
circular path within the pumping chamber.
2. As it passes top dead center, it creates a constantly increasing
internal space on the inlet or suction side.
3. ...and a constantly decreasing internal space on the pressure
or discharge side.
4. A high-integrity seal is maintained between the suction and
pressure sides by a film of oil that is captured between the
piston and the cylinder.
5. There is no contact between the piston and the cylinder.
6. The oil film is maintained by oil dragged into the clearance
by the moving piston which creates a hydrodynamic wedge.
7. At the end of compression cycle, the clearance volume is
completely filled with oil, making very high compression
ratios available.
These three facts, the oil seal, the
filling of the clearance volume, and no
contact between piston and wall, are
what give the rotary piston pump its
low blank off, high pumping speeds at
low pressures and great durability.
SINGLE-STAGE OR TWO-STAGE PUMPS
Depending on your application
and what vacuum level you
need to attain, Kinney Pumps
are available in either single-stage
or two-stage design. The twostage pumps will achieve a
lower vacuum level due to
the two piston chambers
which are arranged in series
with a connecting channel.

TRIPLEX DESIGN MEANS VIRTUALLY
VIBRATION-FREE OPERATION
Kinney KT Pumps have three
sets of cams and pistons driven by a common shaft. One
cam and piston set is no
longer than the other two and
the cams are set 180° apart.
The dynamic forces produced
by the rotation of the long cam
and piston are balanced by opposing forces produced
by the short cams and pistons on either side. The
resulting out-of-balance force is very small, making
it possible to mount the pump on springs or vibramounts which substantially reduce the dynamic
forces transmitted to the floor.

INTEGRAL OIL-MIST-ELIMINATOR CONVERSES
OIL, PROVIDES CLEAN DISCHARGE
All Kinney KT Series Low Profile Pumps have as standard an integral
three-stage oil-mist-eliminator, which captures and returns the
oil to the oil reservoir.
The first stage is an impingement umbrella on which the largest
oil droplets are removed. The second stage is a stainless steel pad,
which collects small droplets. The third and final stage is a
coalescing filter of glass fibers which removes all visible oil
smoke from the discharge gas. Oil collected from all three
stages automatically drains back to the oil reservoir.

8 KD/KDH SERIES
OIL-SEALED SINGLE-STAGE
ROTARY PISTON VACUUM PUMPS
KD-30, KD-50, KDH-130, KDH-150
HIGHLIGHTS
• Can Operate at any Pressure up to Atmosphere
• Absolute Pressure Down to the Low Micron
Range. Ultimate Pressure of 10 Microns HG
ABS or Less (McLeod Gauge)
• High Resistance to Abrasion and Corrosion
• No Small Orifices to Plug Up
• Adjustable Gas Ballast Permits Handling
of Condensable Vapors
Typical Applications: Drying Chambers,
Degassifiers, Filling Machines,
Evacuating Process Chambers
Models KD and KDH are single stage vacuum pumps
of "duplex" design. Each has a single shaft with two
sets of cams and pistons mounted 180° apart, which
operate in parallel. The rotary pistons do not touch
the walls of the pumping chambers but are sealed
by oil, which acts as both a lubricant and a sealant.
KD pumps are air-cooled; KDH pumps need water
cooling for most applications.
These are other quality features: a controllable
gas ballast to permit the handling of condensable
vapors and to minimize oil changes due to vapor
contamination of the sealing oil. Models KD-30
and KD-50 are equipped with an oil mist eliminator,
optional on model KDH-130 & KDH-150. Each pump
operates within the rating of its standard TEFC
motor throughout the entire operating pressure range.

PLUS FEATURES
HIGH VAPOR HANDLING
Kinney Piston Pumps are equipped with three features to handle
high vapor loads.
First, the adjustable gas ballast valve can introduce air to the
pumping chamber, which helps prevent vapor from condensing
in the pump oil.
Second, Piston Pumps have a large oil capacity, which has a
higher tolerance to contamination. The large reservoir can collect
a significant volume of condensed liquid, which can be drained
from the pump.
Third, Piston Pumps can operate as part of a vapor handling
system, in which the oil reservoir is maintained under vacuum.
This is made possible by the oil pump and the design of the oil
reservoir to operate under vacuum. Vapor handling systems,
which keep the oil dry, can operate in corrosive applications.

10 KC SERIES
OIL SEALED TWO-STAGE ROTARY
PISTON VACUUM PUMPS
KC-5, KC-8, KC-15
HIGHLIGHTS
• Pumping Speed at Pressures Below 10 Microns.
Lower than Attainable with Single-Stage Pumps
• Ultimate Pressure: .2 Microns (McLeod Gauge)
• Can Operate at Any Pressure up to Atmosphere
• Adjustable Gas Ballast Permits Handling of Condensable Vapors
• No Metal-to-Metal Contact in Pumping Chamber
• Unequaled Durability, Even in Dirty Applications
• Air-Cooled
Typical Applications: Refrigeration Systems, Liquid
Gas Storage, Automotive Applications, Leak Detection
Kinney Series, two-stage vacuum pumps, are
designed to achieve lower pressures than can be
achieved with single-stage pumps. Two sets of cams
and pistons, mounted 180° apart on a single shaft,
operate in series. The two pumping chambers are
connected by a channel, which serves as an oil
supply duct for the high vacuum side of the pump
and as a gas duct between the two stages. The high
vacuum side is continuously sealed with vacuum
oil from its own reservoir, the vacuum conditioning
being provided by the roughing (2nd) stage.
Functionally vibrationless, they are well suited for
portable installations. Because there is no metal
contact between the pump piston and cylinder,
clearances are sealed and lubricated with oil. Units
are equipped with a gas ballast valve to provide
vapor-handling capability. Oil mist eliminators are
standard. Each pump operates within the rating of
its standard TEFC motor throughout its operating
pressure range.
Wear is minimum. Units operate without repairs
for many years. Pumps can be serviced easily in
the field without special tools.
Specifically manufactured refrigeration units
prepared for use with POE oil, compatible with
Freon R134A are also available.

12 KTC
OIL-SEALED TWO-STAGE ROTARY PISTON
VACUUM PUMPS
KTC-21, KTC-60, KTC-112
HIGHLIGHTS
• Triplex Piston Design for Quiet, Vibration-Free Operation
• High Pumping Speed at Pressure Below 10 Microns, Lower
than Attainable with Single-Stage Pumps
• Ultimate Pressure: .2 Microns (McLeod Gauge)
• Can Operate at Any Pressure up to Atmosphere
• Adjustable Gas Ballast Permits Handling of Condensable Vapors
• No Metal-to-Metal Contact in Pumping Chambers
• Unequalled Durability, Even in Dirty Applications
Typical Applications: Brake Filling Systems,
Low Pressure Chemical Vapor, Silicon Crystal
Growing, Air Conditioning
The KTC series two-stage high vacuum pumps are
of "triplex" design, a single shaft with three sets of
cams and pistons, one set larger than the other.
Pumps in this series maintain lower pressures
than are attainable with single-stage pumps. In
operation, one of the smaller pumping chambers
is in series with (backing) the other two, which
function in parallel. A unique internal balancing
technique reduces the magnitude of pump movement
(deflection) to 0.0002'' while simultaneously reducing the
dynamic forces transmitted through the flexible mounting pads
furnished with each pump to less than one pound. These
pumps are vibration-free, air-cooled, (except the KTC-12 which
is water-cooled), and equipped with an adjustable gas ballast
providing vapor handling capability while reducing oil changes
by preventing condensable vapors from contaminating the oil.
(Explosion proof option shown)
Other superior quality features include a special umbrella
type discharge baffle to reduce oil loss to levels not
attainable in other pumps, solenoid valves to protect
against oil flooding and the single gas ballast adjustment
that assures balanced air flow and simple regulation.
The pump operates within the rating of its standard TEFC
motor throughout the complete operating pressure range.

PLUS FEATURES
TRIPLEX DESIGN MEANS VIRTUALLY
VIBRATION-FREE OPERATION
Kinney Piston Pumps have three sets of cams and pistons
driven by a common shaft. One cam and piston set is no
longer than the other two and the cams are set 180° apart.
The dynamic forces produced by the rotation of the long
cam and piston are balanced by opposing forces produced
by the short cams and pistons on either side. The resulting
out-of-balance force is very small, making it possible to
mount the pump on springs or vibramounts which substantially reduce the dynamic forces transmitted to the floor.
See back page flap for Options and Accessories
NO ANCHOR BOLTS
KT Pumps do not require lagging, anchor bolts
or special foundations and may be located on
any floor that will support their weight.

HIGH VAPOR HANDLING
Kinney KT Pumps are equipped with three features to handle
high vapor loads.
First, the adjustable gas ballast valve can introduce air to the
pumping chamber, which helps prevent vapor from condensing
in the pump oil.
Second, KT Pumps have a large oil capacity, which has a higher
tolerance to contamination. The large reservoir can collect a
significant volume of condensed liquid, which can be drained
from the pump.
Third, KT Pumps can operate as part of a vapor handling system,
in which the oil reservoir is maintained under vacuum. This is
made possible by the oil pump and the design of the oil reservoir
to operate under vacuum. Vapor handling systems, which keep
the oil dry, can operate in corrosive applications.

Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems (TVBS) is a pioneer in the development of
vacuum pump technology. Introduced in 1926, the Kinney® rotary piston vacuum
principle still sets the industry standard for high performance, reliability, low
maintenance and quiet operation in a mechanical vacuum pump design. These
same performance features are demonstrated in all the TVBS vacuum pump product
lines: liquid ring pumps, dry pumps, vane pumps and our main line of rotary
piston pumps. In addition, all pump designs can be incorporated in complete
TVBS-engineered vacuum systems.
For information and specifications on other Kinney Vacuum Pumps and Systems,
please contact us at 1-800-825-6937.
