A plurality of pump sections are received in a stack in a body. Each of the pump sections include a cam ring disposed in surrounding relationship with a rotor having vanes thereon, and a pair of sideplates which closes the opposite sides of the cam ring. All of the pump sections are driven by a common drive shaft, thereby providing a compact pump unit having a reduced axial length. The outermost sideplates are subject to a discharge pressure from the respective pump sections to urge the various components of the individual pump sections to be held against the body. In this manner, the components are maintained at given accurate locations, eliminating the likelihood of a liquid leakage and simplifying the arrangement.
