Abstract: An internal gear fluidic machine, in particular a pump for the lubrication circuit of a motor vehicle engine, comprises an operating part including an external gear (2) and an internal gear (4), which is housed within an axial cavity (25) of the external gear (2) and meshes with the latter. The external gear (2) is associated with a translating mechanism (8, 22), arranged to cause an axial sliding thereof relative to the internal gear (4) in order to vary the capacity and the fluid flow rate of the machine. The translating mechanism (8, 22) defines a first capacity, adjustment space (24) in communication with a high pressure chamber (48) of the machine, and a second capacity adjustment space (15) where pressure conditions exist that are dependent on the operating conditions of an element, different from the high pressure chamber (48), of a fluidic circuit in which the machine (1) is connected.
