A vacuum pump has a pump case having a gas suction port at an upper part of the pump case and a gas exhaust port at a lower part of the pump case. A stator column extends from a base of the pump case and has an outer circumferential surface. A rotor shaft is rotatably supported in the pump case by the stator column. A spacer is removably integrally connected to the outer circumferential surface of the stator column. The spacer has an outer circumferential surface spaced apart from an inner circumferential surface of the rotor and a through-hole extending form the outer circumferential surface to an inner circumferential surface thereof. A connecting member extends through the through-hole of the spacer and contacts the outer circumferential surface of the stator column to thereby removably integrally connect the spacer to the outer circumferential surface of the stator column.

A vacuum pump and a vacuum apparatus are provided in which gas suction and discharge force can be adjusted without producing dust. The vacuum apparatus includes a vacuum pump 1 for sucking and discharging gas within a chamber 90. The vacuum pump 1 is provided with a communicating pipe 85 that pierces the casing for communicating between the outside of the apparatus and the rotor blades and the stator blades of the turbomolecular pump section. An inert gas is supplied to the turbomolecular pump section through the communicating pipe 85 so that the inert gas is mixed with the gas that has sucked from the chamber 90. The communicating pipe 85 includes a valve 86, and an open/close operation of the valve 86 is controlled in accordance with an output from a pressure sensor 97 witnin the chamber 90. An amount of the inert to be supplied to the turbomolecular pump section T and then mixed, is adjusted by the valve 86 so that a pressure within the vacuum pump 1 is adjusted, with the result that a gas suction force from the chamber 90 can be adjusted.

A turbomolecular pump capable of maintaining a maximum discharge rate even in a higher pressure has rotor blades or stator blades formed such that surface angles on a first surface of the blades facing the direction of rotation differ between an inlet port side of the blades and an outlet port side. The surface closer to the inlet port has a larger angle than on a side closer to the outlet port. One side of the blades has a plurality of surface portions each with different angles. The angles of the surfaces are in the range of 20° to 50° on the inlet port side, 10° to 40° on an intermediate portion, and 10° to 90° on the outlet port side. The angles of the first and second surface portions are larger than that of the intermediate surface portion.

A turbo-molecular pump has components including a stator column, a rotary shaft, and a blade connected to the rotary shaft for rotation therewith. A radiation temperature measuring apparatus has a radiation thermometer for measuring a temperature of a preselected one of the components of the turbo-molecular pump disposed within a view angle range of the radiation thermometer and in accordance with heat energy radiated from the preselected component. A hood is connected to the radiation thermometer so as to not interfere with the view angle range of the radiation thermometer and is configured to block heat energy radiated from components of the turbo-molecular pump disposed outside of the view angle range of the radiation thermometer.

A thread-groove pump mechanism portion PB employs a turn-back structure including a rotor formed of a multiple cylinder having an inner cylindrical rotor and an outer cylindrical rotor and a stator formed of a multiple cylinder having an inner cylindrical stator and on outer cylindrical stator. Gaps g1 and g3 defined by the outer walls of the rotor and the stator walls, and a gap g2 defined by the inner cylinder wall of the rotor and the stator wall during the rest of the pump are formed such that they increase with the distance from the rotor shaft center and g1>g2 and g1>g3 are satisfied. Thus, even if displacement occurs by the centrifugal force and thermal expansion during the operation of pump, predetermined gaps can be provided therebetween.

A screw groove-type pump has a rotor member mounted for undergoing rotation, a stator member arranged so as to be coaxial with the rotor member and having a peripheral wall disposed opposite to and spaced-apart from a circumferential wall of the rotor member, an inlet port for introducing gas into a space between the circumferential wall of the rotor member and the peripheral wall of the stator member, and an outlet port for discharging gas introduced into the space between the circumferential wall of the rotor member and the peripheral wall of the stator member. A screw groove is formed on one of the circumferential wall of the rotor member and the peripheral wall of the stator member for transferring gas introduced into the inlet port through the space between the circumferential wall of the rotor member and the peripheral wall of the stator member and to the outlet port during rotation of the rotor member. The depth of the screw groove at a point thereof which is nearest the inlet port is equal to or larger than ¼ the diameter of one of the circumferential wall of the rotor member and the peripheral wall of the stator member. An angle of elevation of the screw groove with respect to a radial axis of the rotor member decreases toward the outlet port from the inlet port.

A molecular pump for exhausting a chamber has a casing, a stator mounted in the casing, and a rotor mounted in the casing for undergoing rotation relative to the stator during exhaustion of the container. The rotor has a surface disposed opposite to and confronting a surface of the stator. A thread groove is formed in at least one of the opposite and confronting surfaces of the stator and the rotor. A clearance varying device varies a magnitude of a clearance between the opposite and confronting surfaces of the stator and the rotor. An exhaust controlling device controls a degree of exhaustion of the chamber by adjusting the magnitude of the clearance between the opposite and confronting surfaces of the stator and the rotor to a preselected target value during operation of the molecular pump.

A turbo-molecular pump mechanism portion is arranged on the high-vacuum side, a volute pump mechanism portion is arranged on the atmosphere side, and a thread groove pump mechanism portion is arranged between the turbo-molecular pump mechanism portion and the volute pump mechanism portion. Further, rotor blades of the turbo-molecular pump mechanism portion, a rotor of the thread groove pump mechanism portion, and an impeller of the volute pump mechanism portion are integrally mounted to a single rotor shaft, which is rotated by a single motor.

A vacuum pump has a rotor body having multiple stages of rotor blades each comprising a plurality of open-ended blades. The uppermost rotor blade formed on the rotor body is located in a position corresponding to a conical portion in a casing. The tip end of the rotor blade is inclined at the same angle as an inclination angle of the conical portion. Accordingly, gas molecules accelerated at the tip end of the rotor blade in a gas molecular region are unlikely to impinge on the casing, and are prevented from staying so that deterioration in discharge capabilities at the tip end can be suppressed. The uppermost rotor blade is located at the conical portion, making it possible to effectively transport the gas molecules toward the outer periphery of the second and following rotor blades.

A vacuum pump has a casing having an interior space, an inlet port for introducing gas molecules into the interior space, and an outlet port for discharging the gas molecules from the interior space. A rotor shaft extends into the interior space of the casing for undergoing rotation about a rotational axis. A stator is connected to the casing and has stator blades extending into the interior space of the casing. A rotor is disposed between the casing and the rotor shaft. The rotor has a preselected number of rotor blades disposed at an uppermost stage thereof and alternately disposed between the stator blades for undergoing rotation with the rotor shaft to direct gas molecules toward the outlet port. A rotational member is disposed between the inlet port and the rotor for undergoing rotation with the rotor shaft about the rotational axis. The rotational member has a generally conical-shaped surface gradually decreasing toward the inlet port. Guiding blades are disposed on the conical-shaped surface of the rotational member for undergoing rotation with the rotational member about the rotational axis to impart movement to the gas molecules in the interior space of the casing in a radial direction relative to the rotational axis.
