A compact turbo-molecular pump having a high depressurizing capability. A motor driving the pump includes a rotary shaft, the distal and basal ends of which are supported by magnetic bearings. Each magnetic bearing has a rotated magnet, which is rotated integrally with the rotary shaft, and a fixed magnet, which is opposed to the rotated magnet. The rotated and fixed magnets repel each other. The diameter of the magnetic bearing at the distal end of the rotary shaft is greater than that of the magnetic bearing at the basal end. This decreases movement of the rotary shaft toward its distal end when the pump operates.
