Abstract
A turbomolecular pump for evacuating a space by a plurality of turbine grooves located on a rotor and a stator located in face-to-face relationship to the rotor, with the turbine grooves, including rotor grooves on an outer peripheral surface of a rotor extending peripherally at a predetermined angle with respect to the axis of the rotor, and stator grooves on a surface of a stator facing the rotor which extend at the same angle as the rotor grooves but are oriented in an opposite direction to the rotor grooves. The rotor grooves and stator grooves overlap in part as viewed axially of the rotor. A pumping action is performed by surfaces of blades of an axial flow turbomolecular pump and a pumping action is performed by the rotor and the bottom surface of the groove of a helical groove turbomolecular pump, whereby a high compression ratio and a high gas discharge or evacuation speed can be achieved.
