A reduced pressure or pressurizing pump is provided which can be used in a
wide variety of fields of foods, pharmaceuticals, medical treatment,
agriculture, healthcare equipment, room air conditioning, combustion,
biotechnology, and so on. By the application of the pump of the present
invention, there can be materialized, for example, an oxygen enriching
apparatus or a nitrogen enriching apparatus, which have the features of
an oil-free structure, a small size, compactness, low vibration, low
noise, long operating life, and so on. A transport groove of a viscosity
pump, which exerts a force feed action on the fluid, is formed at a
relative displacement interface between a rotor and a housing, and the
rotor supported by a bearing capable of coping with a high-speed rotation
is rotated at a high speed.
