Abstract: To provide a vacuum pump which separates and constructs an inlet port flange and a casing (outer cylinder) as two components to reduce weight while retaining required strength and which is consequently capable of reducing manufacturing cost. In a vacuum pump, an inlet port flange and a casing (outer cylinder) are separated from each other and constructed as different members. The inlet port flange uses stainless steel as a material thereof and the casing (outer cylinder) use aluminum as a material thereof. The components are fastened to each other by bolts and sealed by an O-ring in order to maintain a vacuum property during assembly of the vacuum pump. Accordingly, a weight of the vacuum pump can be reduced while maintaining strength of the inlet port flange.

Abstract: A lower portion of a cylindrical portion provided in a vacuum pump on the outlet port side has an extension portion extending to a further downstream side than a stationary part of a thread groove exhaust element. In the extension portion, the smaller the outer diameter, the smaller the stress applied to the inner diameter side during rotation. As such, the configuration including a reduced diameter portion reduces the stress applied to the inner diameter side of the cylindrical portion without lowering the rotation speed of the rotating body. Additionally, providing a gradually decreasing diameter structure in the extension portion reduces stress concentration at the reduced diameter portion.
