REGLERBAR SMORJMEDELSPUMP

摘要

A pump has a stator formed with intake and output ports connected to the lubricating system of an internal-combustion engine of an automotive vehicle for flow therethrough, a rotor in the stator positively driven by the engine output, an adjustment element operatively connected to the stator and rotor and displaceable between one end position corresponding to relatively great flow through the pump when the rotor is rotated by the output and an opposite end position corresponding to substantially no flow through the pump when the rotor is rotated by the engine output, and a biasing unit for urging the adjustment element toward the one end position with a fixed force. An abutment unit is connected to the adjustment element of the pump for limiting displacement of same from an intermediate position between its end positions into the opposite end position corresponding to no flow through the pump.
