Abstract: A scroll vacuum pump includes a pump system having a stationary spiral component and a movable spiral component cooperating with the stationary spiral component in a pump-active manner, a drive shaft that rotates about an axis of rotation during operation and that has an eccentric section for driving the movable spiral component, and an electric drive motor for the drive shaft. The movable spiral component includes a spiral arrangement, which has spiral walls, spiral grooves bounded by the spiral walls and a spiral base forming the base of the spiral grooves, and a support for the spiral arrangement. The support cooperates with the eccentric section of the drive shaft. The stationary spiral component includes a spiral arrangement, which has spiral walls and a spiral base, and a support for the spiral arrangement.

Abstract: A vacuum pump includes a fan including a rotational speed to be controlled to cool the vacuum pump, a temperature sensor, and a control device that regulates the rotational speed of the fan in dependence on a power consumption of a drive of the vacuum pump and on a temperature measured by the temperature sensor. Another vacuum pump includes an electrically driven fan, an air guide hood, and a conductor that leads from the fan to a supply connection for the fan. The conductor is connected to the supply connection via an electrical connector. The connector is separated from an air flow path, defined by the air guide hood, by a partition wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to a scroll pump comprising a pressure sensor integrated into the scroll pump.
