Construetion
The
pump
is
a
vane-type incorporating a
flow control valve
(with
an
integrated relief valve) and
is
driven
by a V-belt from
the
crank
pulley.
The
pump
features
10 vanes, Each
vane
performs
two
intake/dischsrge operations
for every rotation of
the
rotor. This
means that the
hydraulic fluid
pressure
pulse
becomes extremely
small during
discharge.

Operation
The belt-driven
pulley
rotates the
rotor through the
drive shaft, As the
rotor rotates, the
hydraulic
pressure
is applied to
the vane chamber
of the
rotor and the vanes
witl rotate while being
pushed
onto the
inner circumference
of the cam
.ing.
The
inner circumference
of
the
cam
ring has an extonded
portion
with
respect to the center
of the shaft.
so the rollers
move downward
in the axial direction
as the carrier
rotates. As a
result of this roller
movemsnt, the
internal volume of the
vane chamber
will change,
resulting
in fluid intake and discharge.
