The invention concerns an oil-sealed vane-type rotary vacuum pump with a suction chamber (8) housing a rotatably mounted rotor (3) which has an anchoring section (21) and a bearing section (23) with a slot (24) in which two vanes (26) are mounted with a gap (28) between them. The rotor bearing comprises the bearing section (23) and a rotor-mounting bore (11). The vacuum pump also has an oil pump (45, 46), which produces a flow of oil through the gap (28) between the vanes, and a system for controlling the flow of oil through the gap (28), the oil passing through a channel (66) opening out in the rotor-mounting bore (11) and then through radial and longitudinal bores (68, 69) in the bearing section (23) of the rotor. In order to reduce the noise produced by the pump when in operation, the invention proposes that the location where the oil channel (66) opens out into the rotor-mounting bore (11) and the location of the radial bore (68) in the bearing section (23) of the rotor, with respect to the location of the vanes (26) or the vane-mounting slot (24), are such that oil can only flow into the gap (28) between the vanes when the gap volume is increasing, and that there is a permanently open line leading to the vacuum-pump chamber (8) for the oil leaving the gap (28) between the vanes.
