Piab P5010 Vacuum Pump Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The Piab P5010 is a modular vacuum pump using patented COAX cartridge technology. It is built on two base pumps with strong aluminium interfaces and three-stage cartridges that deliver lower noise and more initial vacuum flow for faster response.
Cartridges push in and out without screws or tools. Options include an air-saving ES function, a control unit (CU) with on/off and blow-off valves and LED status, and the AVM 2 digital display. Mounting includes DIN rail and a robust rail.
Quick Verdict
A flexible, efficient compressed-air vacuum pump that can be placed close to the cups and tuned for porous or non-porous products.

Design and Operating Principle
COAX cartridges are multi-stage ejectors packaged as replaceable inserts. Three stages increase initial flow, so cups evacuate faster and cycles shorten.
A modular design lets the pump be configured for vacuum performance, function and interface, and changed over quickly when applications change.
Compact size means the pump can sit close to the cups, reducing hose volume and response time. The ES function closes air supply once vacuum is reached for non-porous products.
Integration and Selection
Size cartridges for porous or non-porous products and choose CU and AVM 2 for control and monitoring. Mount on DIN rail near the gripper.
Use ES for sealed parts to save air.
