Vacuum pump with oil separator

A two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump includes a pre-vacuum stage having a pre-vacuum pumping chamber and an outlet valve; a main oil sump; and a first oil conduit having a first opening communicating with the main oil sump and a second opening communicating with the pre-vacuum pumping chamber. The first opening is located at a level below an operational oil level in the main oil sump. There is further provided an intermediate oil sump situated at a level above the outlet valve and being arranged for receiving oil from the pre-vacuum pumping chamber; and a second oil conduit leading from the intermediate oil sump to components of the vacuum pump to be supplied with oil. All such components are situated at a level below the intermediate oil sump.

Method and apparatus for supplying oil to a vacuum pump

The invention relates to a method of making a pump ring for a two-stage vacuum pump (1) with a one-piece rotor system (14) having three sections (14a, b, c), whose end sections (14a and 14c form the two pumping stages and whose middle section (14b) forms an intermediate bearing, the diameters of the bearing section (14band of the rotor section (14a) forming the forepumping stage being equal. To reduce the tolerances that occur it is proposed that two bores be made in a single set-up from one end of a substantially cylindrical workpiece, the one forming the anchor contact (51) of the forepumping stage as well as the bearing bore (12) and the other forming the anchor contact (52) of the high-vacuum stage, and that before or after these bores aremade, additional bores (11, 13) are made in order to form the pump chambers (21, 17).

A vacuum pump includes a first pump housing defining a pumping chamber; a pump rotor received in the pumping chamber; a drive motor operatively connected to the pump rotor; an oil casing receiving the first pump housing; and a second pump housing surrounding the first pump housing and the drive motor.

Low-noise vacuum pump

A high-vacuum pump includes a plurality of pump stages, each of which has a rotor and a stator. In one of the pump stages, either the rotor or the stator is provided with a structure that effects the gas conveying includes radially extending webs whose pitch and width decrease from the suction side of the pump stage to the thrust side of the pump stage.

Pump stage for a high-vacuum pump

Rotating unit including a shaft, a blower rotor, and a motor armature is removable as a unit from the motor housing. The diameter of a first resiliently mounted bearing holder toward the blower rotor is larger than the diameter of the armature, which in turn is larger than the diameter of a second resiliently mounted bearing holder remote from the blower rotor.

Radial blower with resiliently mounted bearing holders

A lubricating system for supplying oil to the bearings of a shaft having a central oil pumping passage open at one end. An oil delivery tube reaches into the oil pumping passage. To achieve a positive transfer of the oil from the oil delivery tube to the inner wall of the oil pumping passage, means are associated with the upper end of the oil delivery tube for bringing the oil onto the inner wall of the oil pumping passage.
