A vacuum pump is capable of preventing reaction products produced by a process gas from being precipitated in the pump, of holding various pump components in an allowable temperature range, and hence of operating in a wide operation range, and which has increased durability. The vacuum pump has a pump casing having an intake port and an exhaust port, an exhaust assembly disposed in the pump casing and having a rotor and a stator, and a heating unit for heating a stator side component of the exhaust assembly positioned near the exhaust port. The heating unit is disposed in a space inside the pump casing where is evacuated during operation, and held in contact with at least a portion of the stator side component of the exhaust assembly positioned near the exhaust port.
