Abstract
A vane pump sucks the hydraulic fluid from a first inlet port and discharges it into a first outlet port and, at the same time, sucks the hydraulic fluid from a second inlet port and discharges it into a second outlet port, as a rotor having a plurality of slits housing vanes and extending in a radial manner rotates. The vane pump has a first back-pressure groove that is communicated with some of the slits to supply a back pressure from the first outlet port to the corresponding vanes and a second back-pressure groove that is communicated with other of the slits to supply a back pressure from the second outlet port to the corresponding vanes. The vanes to which the back pressure is supplied from the first back-pressure groove include the vanes in pump chambers into which the hydraulic fluid is sucked from the second inlet port.
