Abstract: A vacuum pump and a piping structural portion for a vacuum pump are provided that limit damage to a component connected to external piping and limit gas leakage even when the vacuum pump is displaced in a rotation direction due to damage to the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump draws in gas through an inlet port by rotation of a rotor and includes a casing, which rotatably houses the rotor, and a piping structural portion disposed in the casing. At least a part of the piping structural portion includes an elastic portion that is configured to elastically deform to absorb a displacement.
