Abstract: Aspects and embodiments provide a vacuum pump assembly comprising a motor. The motor comprises: a motor rotor magnet and a stator. The rotor motor magnet is configured to be rotatable relative to the stator about an axis to drive a vacuum pump mechanism. The motor rotor magnet has an axial length of two thirds or less than that of the stator. Such a configuration may help to mitigate the electromagnetic stray field emitted by the motor and, in turn, the vacuum pump.

Abstract: An oil feed assembly for a vacuum pump comprises: an oil feeder located for feeding oil to one side of a bearing of the vacuum pump; an oil sump located on the one side of the bearing and configured to receive excess oil from the oil feeder; and a venting bypass conduit fluidly coupled with the oil sump and with another side of the bearing, the venting bypass conduit having an inlet located at an elevated position above a floor of the oil sump and configured to convey gas from the oil sump to the another side of the bearing. In this way, the venting bypass conduit provides an alternative path which allows gas within the oil sump to escape during pump-down while preventing oil within the oil sump from escaping with the gas travelling through the venting bypass conduit.
