An automotive liquid pendulum vane pump includes a pump housing, a rotor ring with circular undercut recesses, a rotor hub with vane slots, and pendulum vanes which connect the rotor ring and the rotor hub. Each vane slot has a substantially plane contact wall slot with a tangential contact nose in an opening region and a diving recess. Each pendulum vane has a circular pendulum head which defines a pendulum hinge which corresponds to a circular undercut recess, a circular pendulum foot which is radially shiftable and pivotable in a vane slot, a vane leg which connects the circular pendulum head and the circular pendulum foot, and a contact path with a contact path surface which contacts the tangential contact nose in a rotational contact sector. A radial inner end of the contact path surface defines an inner tangential projection which temporarily dives into the diving recess.

A fluid pump for a motor vehicle includes a pump wheel which is co-rotatably connected with a driving device via a rotor shaft, and a shaft bearing system for the rotor shaft. The shaft bearing system includes a bearing receptacle having a support flange, and a first and a second ball bearing. The first and the second ball bearing are each fixed to a radial outside of the rotor shaft, are each axially shiftable within the static bearing receptacle, and are positioned at opposite axial sides of the support flange. An outer race of the first ball bearing contacts the support flange. An outer race of the second ball bearing is axially preloaded away from the support flange via a preload spring. The first and the second ball bearing are each radially supported within the static bearing receptacle only by an elastic support ring which radially surrounds the outer races.
