ABSTRACT:
A variable displacement vane pump that assuredly suppresses seizing of mutually contacting surfaces of a pressure plate and a rotor where the pressure plate is formed, at one side surface thereof that slidably contacts the rotor, with an annular lubricating groove. The lubricating groove is on a seal surface of the side surface at a position between arcuate back pressure grooves formed on the seal surface and a through opening which is formed in a center part of the pressure plate to receive the drive shaft. A radial width of the lubricating groove is set to a range from 10% to 25% of a radial width of the seal surface, and a distance from a center of the radial width of the lubricating groove to an inner cylindrical surface of the through opening is set to a range from 24% to 70% of the radial width of the seal surface.
