Abstract
The invention relates to a friction vacuum pump ( ) with a stator ( ) and a rotor ( ), which form at least two pump stages ( ) with one gas inlet ( ) each, as well as with junction for the pump stages, which are equipped with junction openings ( ) and serve for the connection of the gas inlets ( ) of the pump stages with devices to be evacuated; in order to avoid high conductance losses it is proposed that the junction openings ( ) are located in a plane which is disposed laterally adjacent to the pump stages ( ) such that the distance between the junction openings ( ) and the rotor axis ( ) is of minimum feasible size.
