The fixed housing and the sliding housing define a gap therebetween. A rotor is configured to rotate within the cylindrical cavity and has a plurality of vanes configured to seal against an inner circumferential wall of the cylindrical cavity to define a plurality of pumping chambers. A seal is located in the gap disposed between the fixed housing and the sliding housing to split the gap into first and second compensation chambers. The first chamber is fluidly connected to a first pumping chamber of the plurality of pumping chambers and the second chamber is connected to a second pumping chamber of the plurality of pumping chambers.
