Abstract

A rotor device for a vacuum pump comprises a rotor shaft and at least one rotor element on the rotor shaft. The rotor element contains aluminum, titanium and/or CFRP, while the rotor shaft contains a chromium-nickel steel. This makes it in particular possible to join the at least one rotor element to the rotor shaft at room temperature using a pressing process.

Claims (20)

1 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump, comprising

a rotor shaft and

at least one rotor element arranged on the rotor shaft,

wherein

the at least one rotor element contains aluminum, titanium and/or CFK and the rotor shaft contains chromium-nickel steel.

2 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotor element is made of aluminum, an aluminum alloy and/or high-strength aluminum.

3 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotor element is made of titanium and/or a titanium alloy.

4 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotor element is made of CFK.

5 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein the rotor shaft contains a chromium-nickel steel with added sulfur.

6 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein the rotor shaft contains a stainless steel alloy.

7 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein the material pair is selected such that the at least one rotor element can be fitted on the rotor shaft at room temperature.

8 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of said rotor elements are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the rotor shaft.

9 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 6 , wherein the rotor elements are formed as rotor discs.

10 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 8 , further comprising at least one spacer element is arranged between two of the rotor elements.

11 . Vacuum pump, in particular a turbomolecular pump, comprising

a rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 1 ,

the rotor shaft being supported in a pump housing by bearing elements,

a driver connected to the rotor shaft, and

at least one stator element arranged in the pump housing.

12 . Rotor device for a vacuum pump of claim 6 , wherein the stainless steel alloy is stainless steel X8CrNiS18-9.
