Abstract

A variable displacement vane pump and a power steering can secure a discharge flow rate when a steering wheel is turned, and restrict the discharge flow rate when the steering wheel is not turned. In the variable displacement vane pump and power steering system, a bypass line is formed. The bypass line causes a hydraulic fluid in a high pressure chamber of a control valve, which controls an eccentricity of a cam ring, to flow directly to a low pressure chamber side of the control valve. The hydraulic fluid flows directly to the low pressure chamber side of the control valve when the steering wheel is turned.
