The invention discloses a vacuum plating rotating stand and a vacuum coating machine. The vacuum plating rotating stand comprises a revolution disc. The revolution disc can rotate around the revolution center. Multiple autorotation shafts are circularly and evenly distributed on the revolution disc around the revolution center. An autorotation disc is rotationally arranged on each autorotation shaft. Multiple satellite shafts are circularly and evenly distributed on each autorotation disc around the corresponding autorotation shaft. Claw discs used for fixing products are arranged on each satellite shaft in a penetrating manner. A drive gear is fixed to the bottom of each autorotation disc, and a fixed gear is fixed to the revolution center and engaged with the drive gears. During coating, a drive device drives the revolution disc to rotate, the autorotation discs rotate around the revolution center along with the revolution disc, meanwhile, the drive gears and the fixed gear rotate in an engaged manner, and the autorotation discs, the satellite shafts and the claw discs are driven to rotate around the autorotation shafts. The product loading capacity and production efficiency in the vacuum plating rotating stand are improved, coating materials are saved, and coating is more uniform.
