A vacuum chamber module and an apparatus are disclosed. The vacuum chamber module comprises: a pump wall defining a recess shaped to receive a multi-stage vacuum pump; a plurality of vacuum chambers, each vacuum chamber being configured to be pumped by a respective stage of the multi-stage vacuum pump, each vacuum chamber being defined at least partially by a portion of the pump wall, each vacuum chamber having an pumping port located at a different circumferential position on the pump wall for fluid communication with the respective stage of the multi-stage vacuum pump. In this way, a module is provided which shares components, with the multi-stage pump at least partially accommodated within space otherwise occupied by the vacuum chambers and with the vacuum chambers located around the pump wall, which provides for a simpler and more compact arrangement.

Provided is a vacuum pump that can realize energy conservation when performing abatement of exhaust gas.

A vacuum pump that sucks in and exhausts exhaust gas includes a motor serving as a drive source, and a first controller that controls driving of the motor. The first controller monitors a state of the motor, and in a case in which the state of the motor is a specific state excluding when starting up and when stopped, outputs a specific signal (process signal) to an external entity.

A vacuum pump that allows for timely inspection and replacement of a temperature adjustment means, prevents unexpected stopping, and limits the maintenance cost, and a controller that controls the vacuum pump are proposed. The present disclosure relates to a vacuum pump for exhausting gas from an apparatus, such as manufacturing equipment, subjected to exhaustion. The vacuum pump includes: a temperature adjustment means for causing a predetermined area of the vacuum pump to have a predetermined temperature; an output control means configured to operate the temperature adjustment means; and an information output means configured to output information regarding ON/OFF of the temperature adjustment means obtained from the output control means.

A vacuum pump system includes a first vacuum pump and a second vacuum pump connected to an exhaust port of the first vacuum pump. The second vacuum pump has a pump portion and a trap portion. The pump portion has a rotor. The trap portion is configured such that a reaction product generated from gas guided to an internal space from the exhaust port of the first vacuum pump by suction by the pump portion is accumulated thereon.

An electromagnet unit in which influence of a noise on a displacement sensor is suppressed and which can be installed in a space-saving manner and a vacuum pump including the electromagnet unit are provided. An electromagnet unit includes a radial electromagnet which controls a shaft to a predetermined position, a radial sensor which detects a position of the shaft, and a printed board interposed between the radial electromagnet and the radial sensor and on which a wiring pattern for sensor connecting coils of the corresponding two radial sensors to each other and a wiring pattern connecting coils of the corresponding two radial electromagnets to each other are provided. The wiring pattern for sensor and the wiring pattern for electromagnet are disposed so as not to overlap when seen from the axial direction.
