VACUUM PUMPING SYSTEM HAVING AN OIL-LUBRICATED VACUUM PUMP

Abstract:

A vacuum pumping system includes an oil-lubricated vacuum pump, including a stationary pump stator and a rotatable pump rotor, and a motor, including a stationary motor stator and a rotatable motor rotor cooperating with each other for driving in rotation the pump rotor. The motor further includes an oil-tight unit including a metal jacket enclosing the motor rotor and forming a container intended to collect and keep inside the motor any oil leaking from the pump.
