A pump is provided for supplying fluid under pressure to power steering apparatus of a vehicle, the pump equipped with a control device for regulating the flow rate and the pressure of delivery fluid, such the control device comprising the combination of flow and pressure control valves which sets the flow rate and the maximum pressure of delivery fluid at most preferable values for the power steering apparatus. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted in a casing member and is provided with a concentric suction channel and a discharge channel in the outer peripheral surface thereof; the shaft carrying an eccentric rotor thereon forms a crescent-shaped clearance between the rotor and the casing member, and a plurality of abutments are loosely received in radial grooves circumferentially disposed with uniform spacing in the inner peripheral surface of the casing member.
