Abstract

A cam plate pump comprises a pressurizing chamber formed by a bellows which elongates and contracts along a center axis parallel to the input shaft of the pump. The cam plate rotates together with the input shaft, and compresses the bellows via a piston. A mechanism for guiding the piston along the center axis, and a mechanism for blocking the rotational torque acting on the bellows via the piston are provided. These mechanisms prevent a bending load or twisting load from acting on the bellows.
