Patent number: 8403652Abstract: A molecular pump has a cylindrical casing, a stator portion formed in the casing, a shaft disposed in the stator portion, a bearing pivotally supporting the shaft with respect to the stator portion, a rotor that is attached to the shaft and rotates integrally with the shaft, a motor for rotationally driving the shaft, a shock absorbing member, and a flange portion provided at an end portion of the casing. The flange portion has a bolt hole through which extends a bolt for fixing the casing and a fixed member to each other and an insertion hole which is provided adjacent to the bolt hole and in which the shock absorbing member is inserted so that at least one end side of the shock absorbing member extending along an axial direction of the bolt is spaced apart from the bolt.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Edwards Japan LimitedInventors: Yasushi Maejima, Yoshinobu Ohtachi, Rumiko Wada, Yoshihiro Enomoto, Chris Bailey, Dawn Stephenson, Kate Wilson

Publication number: 20090081056Abstract: To form a shock absorbing structure more easily. A shock absorbing structure for consuming shock energy is provided on the flange of a molecular pump. An insertion hole is provided in the flange, and a shock absorbing member formed by an independent and small part is fitted and fixed in this insertion hole. A bolt hole is provided to cause a bolt for fixing the flange and a vacuum vessel in the shock absorbing member to pass therethrough. The shock absorbing member is provided with a thin-wall portion by forming a cavity portion. In the case where a shock in the rotation direction of a rotor portion is produced in the molecular pump, for example, by fracture of the rotor portion, the flange slides in the rotation direction of the rotor portion together with the molecular pump. Thus, the bolt that fixes the flange to the flange of the vacuum pump hits the shock absorbing member, thereby the shock absorbing member is subjected to plastic deformation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2007Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventors: Yasushi Maejima, Yoshinobu Ohtachi, Rumiko Wada, Yoshihiro Enomoto, Chris Bailey, Dawn Stephenson, Kate Wilson
