  • Patent number: 10823170
    Abstract: A transmission device (1) has a double-flow sliding vane pump (4). Hydraulic fluid is supplied to suction sides (5A, 5B) of the pump (4) through an inlet area (14) from a hydraulic fluid reservoir (11) and from a suction loading (16) via an annular chamber (7) and pump inlets (9, 10). The annular chamber (7) is delimited by the cam ring (6) and a housing (8) enclosing the cam ring (6). A sealing gap (17) extends in the circumferential direction (U) between one of the pump inlets (10) and a circumferential area (44) of the cam ring (6) delimiting the inlet area (14) from the hydraulic fluid reservoir (11). Courses (19, 20) of the inlet area (14) and of the suction loading (16) installed in the transmission device (1) respectively form a first angle (?) and a second angle (?) with the vertical axis (21) of the transmission device (1).
