The turbomolecular vacuum pump with active magnetic bearings comprises an
enclosure (110) defining a primary vacuum chamber (116), a rotor (120),
an electric motor (107), an axial magnetic bearing (103), radial magnetic
bearings (101, 102), an axial detector (106), and radial detectors (104,
105). Remote external electric circuits associated with the electric
motor (107) and with the axial and radial magnetic bearings (103 and 101,
102) essentially comprise power supply electric circuits (191). Circuits
(194) for controlling the axial and radial magnetic bearings (103 and
101, 102) from signals issued by the axial and radial detectors (106 and
104, 105) are embedded in a resin and placed inside the enclosure (110)
in the primary vacuum chamber (116). A hermetic leaktight electrical
connector (180) and an electric cable (183, 184) providing a connection
with the remote external electric circuits (191, 192) each have a number
of connection wires that is less than ten.
