Abstract

See full text

The present invention refers to a pumping stage for turbomolecular pumps comprising a rotor disk (3), integral with a rotating shaft (4) operated by a motor, and a stator disk (1) said stator disk (1), integral with the pump body (2), where the stator disk (1) is a disk whose surface is substantially smooth that can assume, during the evacuation cycle, a bladed configuration, by raising radial sections (5) of the disk surface itself. Raising of radial sections (5) is performed by at least one actuator device (11) controlled, through an electronic control device (12), by a pressure sensor (13) sampling the pressure inside the pump body (2).
