A scroll-type fluid machine includes a fixed scroll having a spiral wall; an orbiting scroll having a base plate which is on one side provided with a spiral wall, the orbiting scroll having the spiral wall combined with the spiral wall of the fixed scroll. A rotation preventing mechanism prevents the orbiting scroll from rotating about its own axis. A driving shaft is driven by a driving source, which has an eccentric portion, the eccentric portion causing the orbiting scroll to carry out orbiting movement through an orbiting bearing. A counter-weight is coupled to the driving shaft in such manner that it takes an eccentric position at the side remote from the eccentric portion of the driving shaft and it has a play with respect to the driving shaft in a radial direction, which can balance with at least part of a centrifugal force caused at the orbiting scroll side, and which has radial movement controlled by the orbiting scroll side.

A fluid scroll machine including two scrolls eccentrically combined with each other and defining a hermetically closed space which moves as the scrolls are rotated synchronously with each other, wherein the central parts of the vortical portions of the scrolls are notched so that an opening is provided between the scrolls; and an Oldham's coupling for transmitting the torque of one of the scrolls to the other is provided in the opening.

A turbomolecular pump is disclosed which has reduced axial length so as to provide a small-sized pump, and which also has improved stability during high-speed operation, is simple in construction, and is able to operate at much higher speeds than prior art devices. The turbomolecular pump comprises: a cylindrical housing having a plurality of stator vanes provided on the inner peripheral surface thereof, the cylindrical housing having inlet ports and an outlet port; a rotary shaft rotatably supported on the cylindrical casing through bearings; a rotary member fixedly mounted on the rotary shaft and having a plurality of rotor vanes provided on the radially outer peripheral surface thereof, the rotor vanes being interlaced with the stator vanes in a face-to-face relation with each other so that during rotation of the rotor, the rotor and stator vanes cooperate with each other to produce a undirectional flow of a fluid from the inlet ports toward the outlet port; and an electric motor disposed in the cylindrical housing for electromagnetically driving the rotary member to rotate relative to the housing, the motor including a rotor mounted on the rotary member and a stator mounted on the housing in an axially spaced face-to-face relation with the rotor.

A magnetic separator for fluids has a non-magnetic container which is divided into a trapping portion and an accumulating portion. A fluid containing magnetic particles to be removed therefrom is introduced via an inflow pipe and discharged via a discharge pipe located in the top and bottom, respectively, of the trapping portion. A pair of electrodes are mounted in opposite end walls of the container, and a plurality of magnetizable wires are strung across the container in parallel between the electrodes. The electrodes are electrically connected to a mechanism for generating alternating current whose frequency components are harmonics of the fundamental frequency of vibration of the magnetizable wires. The container is situated between a pair of magnets which produce a magnetic field whose strength increases from the trapping portion to the accumulating portion. The magnetic field strength is preferably a maximum in the accumulating portion at a position removed from the end wall of the accumulating portion.

An upper housing for rotatably supporting a driving scroll in a sealing container is provided with an annular chamber to be maintained at the atmospheric pressure. The annular chamber is communicated with a compression chamber formed between the driving and driven scrolls through a discharge conduit which is formed in the driving shaft of the driving scroll. The annular chamber is communicated with the inside of the container through a throttling path. An oil stored in the lower part of the container is induced with the compression chamber during the revolution of the both scrolls to be introduced into the annular chamber. Owing to the throttling path, the oil is stored in the annular chamber to separate the inside of the container and the annular chamber kept at the atmospheric pressure.

An alternating current generator for a car comprises the first centrifugal fan which is fixed to one end of the rotor and has a diameter smaller than that of the rotor, the first ventilating hole for feeding a coolant air which is formed in the end portion in the axial direction of the bracket in the side of the centrifugal fan, the second ventilating hole for discharging the coolant air which is formed in the cylindrical portion of the bracket in which the first ventilating hole is formed, the second centrifugal fan which is fixed to the other end of the rotor and has a diameter larger than that of the rotor, the third ventilating hole for feeding a coolant air which is formed in the end in the axial direction of the other bracket and the fourth ventilating hole for discharging a coolant air which is formed in the cylindrical portion of the other bracket.
