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.
