Fluid sucked from the intake ports is pressurized and discharged to the exhaust ports. The vane pump is further provided with first and second pressure chambers and a throttle passage connecting the first and second pressure chambers. Pressurized fluid discharged from one of the exhaust ports is led to one of the two pressure chambers and pressurized fluid discharged form the other of the exhaust ports is led to the other of the pressure chambers while pressurized fluid is taken out from the second pressure chamber to be supplied to a fluid device.
