Abstract
A fluid rotating apparatus according to the present invention is designed to promptly achieve an extremely high degree of vacuum from atmospheric pressure by its single apparatus. Moreover, high-speed synchronous rotation of the rotary shafts of the apparatus is controlled by use of a rotary position detecting sensor, to thereby avoid control through mechanical contact thereof with a gear or the like. In addition, hydrostatic bearings are employed for supporting the rotary shaft to avoid mechanical abrasion and the use of lubricant oil.
