Abstract

A vane pump includes: pump chambers formed by a rotor, a cam ring, and vanes; a first suction port that guides working fluid guided by a suction passage to the pump chambers; a second suction port that guides the working fluid guided from the suction passage through a communication passage to the pump chambers; and a return passage to which excessive fluid of the working fluid discharged from the pump chambers is guided. The return passage has: a body-internal passage through which the excessive fluid flows along an axis direction at an outer side of the cam ring in a radial direction; and a turning passage that reverses the excessive fluid guided through the body-internal passage towards the second suction port.
