Abstract (en)

A vacuum pump that can reduce deposition of by-product in a pump chamber caused by a process gas, can prevent an unintended stop of a vacuum pump apparatus, and can ensure restarting of the vacuum pump apparatus is disclosed. The vacuum pump apparatus includes: a pump casing (2) having a pump chamber (1) therein; a pump rotor (5A-E) arranged in the pump chamber; a rotation shaft (7) to which the pump rotor is secured; a bearing (17, 18) that rotatably supports the rotation shaft; a side cover (10A, 10B) coupled to the pump casing; a heater (35) attached to the side cover (10A); and a heater controller (40) configured to instruct the heater to generate heat intermittently when the pump rotor is rotating. The bearing (18) is coupled to the side cover (10A).
