Abstract
A lower portion of a cylindrical portion provided in a vacuum pump on the outlet port side has an extension portion extending to a further downstream side than a stationary part of a thread groove exhaust element. In the extension portion, the smaller the outer diameter, the smaller the stress applied to the inner diameter side during rotation. As such, the configuration including a reduced diameter portion reduces the stress applied to the inner diameter side of the cylindrical portion without lowering the rotation speed of the rotating body. Additionally, providing a gradually decreasing diameter structure in the extension portion reduces stress concentration at the reduced diameter portion.
