Abstract

A rotary pump device is provided in which a drive shaft is inserted into a center hole of a cylinder that forms rotor chambers, and into outer rotors and inner rotors of rotary pumps. In the rotary pump device, seal mechanisms that include hollow-shaped resin members and annular rubber members are arranged on an opposite side to the cylinder with respect to the rotary pumps. Metal rings are arranged in hollow portions of the resin members in the seal mechanisms so that the drive shaft is inserted into an inner periphery of the metal rings with a minimum clearance.
