A rod body 30 is formed of magnetostrictive material and includes one end portion 30 fixed, and a piston 35 is fixed to the other end portion 30b of the rod body 30. The piston 35 is slidably disposed within a cylinder 36 in which there is formed a pump chamber 37. A suction port 39 for sucking lubricating oil into the pump chamber 37 is formed in the cylinder 36, while a suction valve 40 for preventing the lubricating oil from flowing out from the suction port 39 is disposed in the suction port 39. In the cylinder 36, there is disposed a nozzle 20 which communicates with the pump chamber 37 and has a sectional area smaller than the lubricating oil passage sectional area of the suction valve 40. There is disposed a coil 43 outside the rod body 30 and, to the coil 43, there is connected a control device 6 for controlling the supply of a current to be supplied to the coil 43.
