Abstract
A spool valve includes a valve portion that opens and closes a portion between an input port and an output port and a radial-direction-position changing portion provided in an outer lateral surface of the valve portion in a radial direction. When a first value is equivalent to or larger than a threshold that is larger than 0, the portion between the input port and the output port are opened to permit a flow of the oil inside the first connection oil passage, and when the first value is smaller than the threshold, the portion is closed to block the flow of the oil inside the first connection oil passage. The radial-direction-position changing portion extends in the axial direction, and a position thereof in the radial direction changes inwardly from a first side towards a second side in the axial direction.
