Abstract: Provided is an exhaust pump that comprises connecting opening portions that can be deburred easily and that are suitable for enhancing gas evacuation performance. A rotor (a cylindrical rotating member) of an exhaust pump comprises a plate body that has a ring-like projection on a reverse side outer peripheral section of the rotor, and a cylindrical body that is fitted into an outer periphery of the ring-like projection. Connecting opening portions of the exhaust pump comprise holes that are formed by notching an outer peripheral section of the plate body and an outer peripheral section of the ring-like projection, and a portion (specifically, a hole) of the holes that opens in the form of a horizontal hole is covered by an outer-peripheral upper end portion of the cylindrical body.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to enhance the capacity of a turbomolecular pump. A turbomolecular pump is a composite-type vacuum pump that combines a blade portion and a thread groove portion. Openings are formed at a joint portion between a rotor blade holding portion that holds rotor blades and a stepped portion that holds a rotor cylinder portion, such that the openings span both the rotor blade holding portion and the stepped portion. Part of the gas that is evacuated by the blade portions is evacuated by a thread groove portion that is formed of the rotor cylinder portion and a stator thread groove, and the rest of the gas is led into the rotor cylinder portion via the openings, and is evacuated by a thread groove portion that is formed of the rotor cylinder portion and another stator thread groove. Stress derived from rotation of a rotor can be withstood when the openings are formed at the joint portion between the rotor blade holding portion and the stepped portion.

Abstract: A turbo-molecular pump has a housing with intake and exhaust ports. A rotary body is enclosed in the housing and has rotor blades of a series of stages formed so that the outside diameter of at least one stage on the exhaust port side is smaller than that on the intake port side. Stator blades are arranged between the rotor blades and spacer rings are arranged between the stator blades to hold the stator blades at predetermined intervals. The spacer rings are formed so that the smallest inside diameter of at least one stage of the spacer rings on the exhaust port side is smaller than the largest outside diameter of the rotor blades. The housing comprises a casing whose inside diameter is constant or whose inside diameter is smaller at the intake port side than at the exhaust port side.

Abstract: In a vacuum pump, the temperature of a rotor portion is detected more accurately in accordance with a simple method. A thermistor 51 is disposed on a stator in a state where a sensor unit fixed to a frame 53 by a thin film such as a polyimide film opposes a rotor section that is a target of temperature detection. Further, assuming the non-negligible influence, in terms of measurement, that is exerted by heat from the frame, stator and so forth on the first temperature sensor (heat flow from/to the frame), the rotor temperature is estimated more accurately by detecting that influence via other sensors, to compensate for the drop or rise in temperature in the first temperature sensor, and estimate thereby more accurately the temperature of the rotor.

Abstract: A vacuum pump evacuates gas from a chamber by coaction of a rotationally driven rotor and a stator. An electrical equipment section that rotates the rotor is housed within a stator column integral with the stator.

One end of the cooling water pipe branches into a plurality of water inlet ports and the other end branches into a plurality of water outlet ports. One pair of water inlet and outlet ports opens to the outside of the vacuum pump at a side surface of the stator column and another pair of water inlet and outlet ports opens to the outside at the underside of the stator column.

Abstract: A terminal structure has a first connector arranged at a first member, such as a vacuum pump, and a plurality of connector pins. A second member, such as a control device, is movable toward and away from the first member, and a second member side bolt is arranged at the second member. A second connector has a plurality of connecting pins and a flange portion through which the bolt passes and which is movable with respect to the bolt while the second connector is being fit-engaged with the first connector to electrically connect the connector pins of the first and second connectors. An elastic member elastically retains the flange portion and produces an elastic force that resists a push-back displacement which acts on the second connector at the moment of fit-engagement with the first connector in either a direction parallel to the bolt or in a direction inclined at an angle from the parallel direction.

Abstract: A flange of a molecular pump is connected to a vacuum vessel by first bolts that extend through elongate holes in the flange and are bolted to the vacuum vessel. One or more buffering members are attached to the flange by the first bolts that extend through first openings in the buffering members and by second bolts that extend through second openings in the buffering members and are bolted to the flange. In the event of malfunction of the molecular pump that generates an abnormally high torque, the buffering members plastically deform and absorb the shock energy caused by the abnormal torque thereby preventing damage to the vacuum vessel.
