Abstract

The present invention relates to an oil pump rotor for an oil pump provided with an inner rotor 10 to which n (n is a natural number) outer teeth 11 are formed, an outer rotor 20 to which n+1 inner teeth 21 are formed which engage with each of the outer teeth 11, and a casing 30 in which an intake port 31 for taking up fluid and an expulsion port 32 for expelling fluid are formed, wherein: PA1 the outer teeth 11 of inner rotor 10 are formed along an envelope described by a generated group of circles having centers positioned on a trochoid curve generated within the limits satisfying the following expression: EQU 0.15.ltoreq.n.multidot.R/(p.multidot.D).ltoreq.0.25 where D is the diameter of the circle which passes through each of the tips of the outer teeth and R is the radius of the generated circle measured in millimeters, while p is .pi..
