Abstract

A vane pump includes a casing having a cylindrical inner bore and a rotor disposed in the inner bore with an eccentric relation thereto, forming a circular pump chamber between the rotor and the inner bore. The circular pump chamber is divided by vanes held in the rotor into pump chambers changing their capacities according to rotation of the rotor. A gravity center of the rotor is shifted from the rotational center of the rotor by removing or adding some weight, so that an imbalanced centrifugal force is applied to the rotor. The driving shaft and the rotor are tightly coupled to each other by the imbalanced centrifugal force even if there is a small gap or dimensional errors therebetween.
