Abstract
A vacuum pump, which prevents adhesion of products even when a rotating body is stopped, by heating the rotating body using an alternating current (AC) magnetic field. Two heating electromagnets are disposed facing each other across a rotating body. The heating electromagnets receive a supply of AC electric current from a heating electric power source. Excitation of the heating from this AC electric current generates an AC magnetic field. The generated AC magnetic field intersects with the rotating body. Eddy current is generated around the intersecting AC magnetic field. The rotating body is heated by this eddy current. This heating enables deposition of products to be prevented even further, and realize improved pump operation efficiency.
