The lubrication characteristics of line contacts between the vane and cam ring in an oil hydraulic vane pump with intravanes have been investigated. Variations of the radial acting force of a vane were calculated from previously measured results of dynamic internal pressures in four chambers surrounding a vane, and variations of the film thickness were estimated in both the rotational speed range from 500 to 1500 rpm and in the delivery pressure range from 1 to 14 MPa. The results indicate the variations of the radial acting force and film thickness. It is found that the regimes of lubrication in the vane tip contacts lover rigid-isoviscous to rigidvariable viscosities.
