An electromagnet unit, a magnetic bearing device, and a vacuum pump with which displacement of a rotating body in a radial direction can be detected with precision. An upper electromagnet unit includes: radial electromagnets for supporting a rotor in a radial direction without contact; radial sensors for detecting displacement of the rotor in the radial direction; and a core around which coils are wound. Two radial electromagnets that are adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction of the core are disposed such that adjacent magnetic poles belonging respectively to the two radial electromagnets are homopolar, and a low magnetic flux interference region is formed between the two radial electromagnets. Each of the radial sensors is disposed in the low magnetic flux interference region.
