Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum pump having at least one molecular pump stage, in particular a Holweck stage, which includes a rotor member which forms the pump-active surface of the molecular pump stage and having at least one side channel pump stage which is arranged downstream of the molecular pump stage and which includes a plurality of rotor elements, wherein the rotor elements of the side channel pump stage are supported by the rotor member of the molecular pump stage. The invention further relates to a vacuum pump having at least one molecular pump stage, in particular a Holweck stage, and having at least one side channel pump stage which is arranged downstream of the molecular pump stage and which includes a plurality of rotor elements, wherein the side channel pump stage is arranged between a pump inlet and the molecular pump stage.

Abstract: A vacuum pump has at least one side passage pump stage which comprises a side passage bounded by at least one stator element and having a coolant circuit for cooling the vacuum pump with a coolant, wherein the coolant circuit has at least one coolant passage for the side passage pump stage which is bounded at least regionally by the stator element.
