Abstract

A pumping stage for a vacuum pump, has an improved geometry allowing an optimum trade-off to be achieved between the exhaust pressure and the pumping rate attained in that stage. In the pumping stage (1) the axial extension that is the height of the pumping channel (3) varies along the circumference of the channel (3) between the inlet port (13) and the outlet port (15).
