The invention relates to a pump for conveying a medium, especially hydraulic oil, comprising a flow regulating-valve which influences the flow of the medium being conveyed by the pump, and a flow channel which can be opened by said valve. The inventive pump is characterised in that a flow-dividing element (17) is provided for dividing the stream entering the flow channel (7). Said flow-dividing element (17) extends into the flow channel (7) and is located at a distance (a) from the muzzle (9) of said flow channel, said muzzle facing towards the flow regulating-valve.
