There are so many vacuum pumps and compressors available on eBay that it's not worth taking the risk. It would run at approximately
6/5ths the speed but with less torque. You'll also need 230 VAC instead of 115 VAC.
Ask the manufacturer. But the fact that it doesn't list 50/60 Hz on the nameplate may indicate that they don't recommend it at least.

Forget about a convertor, you can buy a dozen pumps for the cost of a frequency converter. :)

If it were something other than a pump I'd suggest you just use it at 60 HZ. The motor will run at a higher speed. But you'll also lose some torque, and in pump applications that might be important.
