Within a cam ring (8), a rotor having a plurality of vanes (27)
is eccentrically disposed. A metering orifice (136) is provided halfway
on a discharge passage (135) of pressure fluid discharged from the pump,
and a control valve is activated due to a pressure difference between the upstream
and downstream sides of the metering orifice (136). A fluid pressure of
the first fluid pressure chamber (21) is controlled by activation of the
control valve (123). The second fluid pressure chamber (22) is shut
off from the control valve (123) to introduce a pressure on the suction
side at any time. To return the cam ring (8) in a direction of expanding
a pump chamber (11), an internal pressure of the cam ring (8) is
applied in the return direction.
