Variable displacement oil pump and method for producing variable displacement oil pump

Abstract

A variable displacement oil pump according to the present invention has a protrusion (46) that is partially formed on a spring contact surface (451) of an arm part (45) of a cam ring (4) so as to overlap with part of the outer circumference of a coil spring (SP). This protrusion (46) restricts tilting of the coil spring (SP) and makes it possible to suppress positional deviation of the coil spring (SP). Furthermore, because the protrusion (46) is provided partially on the spring contact surface (451) of the arm part (45) of the cam ring 4, the coil spring (SP) need only be pushed inward of the protrusion (46) when installing the coil spring (SP), thus making it possible to ensure ease of installation of the coil spring (SP).
