Abstract

A vacuum pump having a housing which limits a working space and having a rotor, rotatably mounted in the housing about a rotor axis, the rotor guides a vane being movably mounted in the radial direction, the vane has a transverse extent, and the vane divides the working space into a suction side having a suction inlet and a pressure side having a pressure outlet, the housing has at least one oil outlet, the oil outlet is closed by a relief valve, the relief valve assumes an open position, when a limit pressure lying above a nominal pressure is exceeded in the working space, and the transverse extent of the vane is large enough that when the vane passes the oil outlet, the oil outlet is closed by the vane, so that there is no fluid connection between the suction side and the pressure side over the oil outlet.
