Specifically, in vacuum pumps, vacuum pumps, spacer parts, and fastening of bolts that can reduce the effects of thermal stress generated when the bolt and the material to be fastened thermally expand due to the heat generated during operation. Regarding the method.

At this time, both lengths are the same at room temperature, and thermal stress is not generated. Then, as shown in FIG. 8(a), an aluminum material A on the outer peripheral side and an iron material (for example, a bolt) B on the inner side are constrained at both ends. At this time, both lengths are the same at room temperature, and thermal stress is not generated. Then, as shown in FIG.

Abstract
[Problème] Empêcher le desserrage d'un boulon dû à une contrainte thermique produite en raison des différences dans les coefficients de dilatation linéaire d'une pluralité d'éléments. [Solution] Lorsque des éléments à chauffer (éléments à fixer) chauffés par la chaleur interne sont fixés à l'aide d'un boulon dans une pompe à vide (100), un élément d'espacement (400) est installé afin de régler les coefficients de dilatation linéaire, en vue d'absorber une contrainte thermique produite en raison de la différence des coefficients de dilatation linéaire des deux éléments. L'installation dudit élément d'espacement (400) permet de supprimer la contrainte thermique d'une partie fixée du boulon (300) au moyen de l'égalisation du coefficient de dilatation linéaire du boulon (300) (le matériau du boulon) et du coefficient de dilatation linéaire de l'élément à chauffer plus l'élément d'espacement (400).
