Abstract
A roots pump includes a housing, a rotor chamber, a pair of rotary shafts, and a pair of rotors. The rotor chamber includes a rotor chamber peripheral surface facing a pair of distal end portions of each of the rotors. Each of the pair of the distal end portions includes: a pair of rotor peripheral surfaces facing the rotor chamber peripheral surface with a first radial clearance; and a distal end peripheral surface that is formed between the pair of the rotor peripheral surfaces in the rotational direction and faces the rotor chamber peripheral surface with a second radial clearance greater than the first radial clearance. A width of the rotor chamber peripheral surface facing the distal end peripheral surface in the rotational direction is greater than a sum of a pair of predetermined widths of the rotor chamber peripheral surface facing the pair of the rotor peripheral surfaces.
