Abstract
A vane pump includes: a rotor; vanes; a cam ring; pump chambers; a suction port; a discharge port; back-pressure chambers; a discharge-side back pressure port configured to guide working fluid that is discharged from the discharge port to the back-pressure chambers; and suction-side back pressure ports configured to guide the working fluid to the back-pressure chambers. The suction-side back pressure ports are formed to be divided into a low-pressure port and a high-pressure port, the low-pressure port being configured to guide the working fluid in the suction port to the back-pressure chambers, and the high-pressure port being configured to guide the working fluid that is discharged from the discharge port to the back-pressure chambers. The high-pressure port is arranged at the forward-side of the low-pressure port in rotating direction of the rotor.
