Abstract

Provided is a canned motor to be coupled to a vacuum pump and used as a rotary driving source for the vacuum pump. The canned motor includes: a stator core; a rotor provided on an inner side of the stator core; and a non-conductive can provided between the stator core and the rotor. The non-conductive can is configured to separate the stator core and the rotor from each other. The non-conductive can is made of resin, ceramic, or composite material thereof. The non-conductive can is bonded to the stator core with an adhesive.

Claims (17)

1. A canned motor to be coupled to a vacuum pump and used as a rotary driving source for the vacuum pump, the canned motor comprising:

a stator core;

a rotor provided on an inner side of the stator core; and

a can provided between the stator core and the rotor, the can being configured to separate the stator core and the rotor from each other, the can including a barrel portion having a hollow shape and extending in a direction of a rotation center axis line of the rotor, and an opening portion for forming an opening of the barrel portion on a first side directly coupled to the vacuum pump in the direction of the rotation center axis line,

wherein the stator core and the rotor are separated from each other in a hermetically sealed manner by the can and an O-ring provided on an outer surface of the opening portion of the can along a circumferential direction,

the can is formed of resin,

the opening portion includes:

a first part formed to extend from the barrel portion toward the outer side of the can in the direction crossing the direction of the rotation center axis line;

a second part formed to extend from the first part toward the first side; and

ribs formed between the first part and the second part, and

a thickness of each of the first part and the second part is equal to or larger than the thickness of the barrel portion, and equal to or smaller than twice the thickness of the barrel portion.

2. The canned motor according to claim 1 , wherein the opening portion is formed to have a flange shape, and a thickness of the flange shape in the direction perpendicular to the rotation center axis line is larger than that of the barrel portion.

3. The canned motor according to claim 1 , wherein a level-difference portion formed by projecting the first side outward is formed on an outer surface of the barrel portion along the circumferential direction, and

the can is mounted in a state in which the level-difference portion and the stator core are held in contact with each other.

4. The canned motor according to claim 1 , wherein the can includes a closing portion for closing the internal space of the barrel portion on a second side opposite to the first side.

5. A vacuum pump comprising:

The canned motor in claim 1 .
