Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide an electric oil pump with greatly improved operation, increased endurance, and extended service life of an Oldham's coupling connecting a drive shaft that rotates a rotor in a pump housing and a motor output shaft in a motor housing.The electric pump comprises a pump housing having a rotor and a drive shaft for rotatably supporting the rotor, and a motor housing connected to the pump housing and having an output shaft connected to the drive shaft via an Oldham's coupling. The pump housing is provided with a coupling chamber for accommodating the Oldham's coupling, and a linking channel for transporting the leaked oil from a rotor chamber accommodating the rotor of the pump housing to the coupling chamber.
