Vacuum pump types include piston, rotary vane, turbine, diaphragm and venturi. They may be of a positive or non-positive displacement type. Positive displacement vacuum pumps may be oil-lubricated or oil-less. Oil-lubricated pumps can run at higher vacuum pressures, are more efficient and last longer than oil-less pumps.
