To provide a vacuum pump that may heat a flow path of gas effectively with
small electric power. A vacuum pump provided with an outer sleeve, a
stator received in a hollow portion of the outer sleeve, a rotor received
rotatably within the hollow portion of the outer sleeve for forming a flow
path of gas in cooperation with the stator, a base to which the outer
sleeve and the stator are to be fixed and supported, a heating
electromagnet for generating heat by current supply and forming a magnetic
field, a magnetic member forming a magnetic path of magnetic force by the
heating electromagnet, and a heat radiation plate made of aluminum and
fixed to the magnetic member.
