Abstract

A pump device is provided. In the pump device, a bottom portion of a case body with a suction port formed therein is provided with a through-hole through which a fluid sucked through the suction port passes, and the case body is provided with a shaft holding portion holding the lower end of the fixed shaft and a plurality of connection portions disposed with a space interposed therebetween in the circumferential direction of the rotor so as to surround the through-hole and connecting the shaft holding portion and the bottom portion. The upper end side of the connection portion is provided with a protrusion protruding upward beyond the upper end surface of the shaft holding portion, and at least one of the protrusions is a rotation preventing portion that prevents rotation of the thrust bearing in the circumferential direction of the rotor.
