Abstract

1331166 Molecular pumps ARTHUR PFEIFFER VAKUUMTECHNIK GmbH 14 July 1971 [23 Oct 1970] 32936/71 Heading F1C [Also in Division F2] Bearings for a molecular pump are arranged in housings which are resiliently mounted in the radial direction, at least one housing being mounted movably in the axial direction. The vertical molecular pump shown in Fig. 2 comprises bearings 33, 34 carried by respective housings 35, 36 which are supported by respective pairs of springs 37, 38. Each spring comprises a disc of steel or brass, with a thick coating on both sides of a damping material such as indium, and split as shown in Fig.3 to provide less stiffness in the axial direction than in the radial direction. An upward bias is exerted by a spring 45 so that the upper bearing housing 36 rests against an abutment 39. Oil for lubrication and cooling is supplied to the bearings via flexible conduits 40, 42 made of material of high internal damping. Excess oil from the upper bearing is thrown off by a slinger ring 41 and passes via a duct 43 to a sump 44 which also receives oil dismissing from the lower bearing, the oil being returned from the sump to the oil pump. In another embodiment, Fig. 1 (not shown), having a horizontal shaft, the springs (15, 16) supporting the bearing housings may be plates or diaphragms rather than split discs. The springs may be damped by a coating, of a thickness substantially equal to that of the springs, of indium or lead. Instead, separate damping elements (21) of resilient synthetic material may be provided. Oil is supplied to the bearings through hoses, which may be corrugated, of synthetic material or metal of high damping characteristics.
