Solving for the rotor of a vacuum pump
Thread Content
As shown in the vacuum pump, what is the purpose of the holes on this rotor? I’d appreciate it if an expert could explain this. What effects would there be if these two rotors were installed in reverse order?
Let’s find out – what type of vacuum pump is this, and what brand is it?
Edwards’ claw-type vacuum pump?
I want to ask what the purpose of these claw holes is – is it to store gas?
It definitely won’t work if it’s installed backwards; the claw pump has multiple rotors, and the clearance between each rotor needs to be adjusted. To be honest, this type of pump is more of a formality than a practical solution – vertical screw vacuum pumps are actually the more reliable option.

The structure is quite complex; you might want to try a screw vacuum pump, which has a simple structure and is easy to maintain
The holes in the rotor are intended to reduce the rotor’s weight, thereby lowering the power required by the motor and saving energy
If installed in reverse, the air inlet and outlet will be swapped, which may cause damage to the equipment. Make notes before disassembly, and follow the disassembly sequence strictly, referring to the diagrams, to reinstall each component one by one.
