Abstract:
1. A variable-displacement oil vane pump comprising: a main body presenting a cavity; a mobile ring, accommodated in said cavity, within which there is a hub adapted to turn about an axis; said hub being provided with a plurality of vanes, each of which is adapted to slide in a corresponding slot obtained in the hub; a moving means of the mobile ring that moves between a position centered on the rotation axis of the hub and a predetermined extreme position, eccentric with respect to the rotation axis of the hub itself; said moving means comprising a driving chamber made on a wall of said cavity and a projection overhanging from the mobile ring, said projection being adapted to slide in said driving chamber due to a driving pressure present in said driving chamber; a guiding means for guiding the mobile ring in said cavity; said guiding means comprising a protrusion coupled with a guiding seat, and elastic means, on the inside of said guiding seat, and elastic means, on the inside of said guiding seat, which elastically act on the mobile ring; friction reducing means disposed between said projection and said driving chamber and said protrusion and said guiding seat adapted to decrease the effects of the friction, wherein between said projection and the driving chamber and, between said protrusion and said guiding seat, there are created corresponding oil gaps adapted to create a thrust on said projection and, respectively, on said protrusion.
