  • a rotating shaft as in a rotating pump is dispensed with, it is not necessary to rotate or slide the rotating shaft at the O ring or the shaft seal portion for isolating the liquid from the outside atmosphere and therefore, there is not a possibility of leaking the liquid from shaft portion or invading the lubricating path by the atmosphere when the lubricating path is in vacuum.
  • the partition wall comprising the nonmagnetic member is used.
  • a magnetic field generated at the solenoid coil can be made to pass only a plunger made of a magnetic member and an attracting force between the plunger and the base can be increased.
  • the solenoid is used as driving means
  • the above-described liquid pump is used as the lubricant circulating or lubricant supplying pump
  • a portion needing the lubricant and the lubricating path and an essential portion of delivering the lubricant of the lubricant circulating pump are hermetically sealed.
  • the lubricant circulating or lubricant supplying pump of the invention in the apparatus having the rotating portion needing the lubricant for lubricating a bearing or the like, there is formed the lubricant storing tank communicated with the apparatus having the rotating portion for making the lubricant flow thereto for storing the lubricant, and the lubricant circulating or lubricant supplying pump and the supply path for supplying the oil from the lubricant storing tank to a predetermined portion of the bearing, the gear or the like are arranged.
  • the rotating shaft, the gear or the like is not dipped in the lubricant, the resistance in driving can be reduced, and conservation of energy can be achieved.
  • apparatus having such a constitution there are the rotary type vacuum pump, the reduction gear and the like.
  • the apparatus having the rotating portion according to the invention is characterized in that the essential portion for delivering the lubricant of the lubricant circulating or lubricant supplying pump is integrally formed at inside of the lubricant storing tank.
  • the apparatus having the rotating portion according to the invention is arranged at the position at which the lubricant of the apparatus in which the lubricant storing tank is provided with the rotating portion flows by the gravitational force. By constituting in this way, it is not necessary to provide complicated means for returning the lubricant to the lubricant storing tank.
  • the apparatus having the rotating portion according to the invention uses the liquid pump according to anyone of Claims 1 through 15 as the lubricant circulating or lubricant supplying pump. By constituting in this way, a simple structure can be constituted.
