Abstract:
In order to improve a wear resistance of a copper alloy-sprayed swash plate of a swash plate type compressor, a copper-aluminum composite material consisting of, by spraying, copper or a first copper alloy (e.g., Cu-Pb alloy) containing at least a non-dissolution phase and aluminum or a first aluminum alloy (e.g., Al-Si) containing at least a dissolution phase is sprayed to at least a sliding surface with respect to a shoe.
Abstract:
A compressor comprising: a cylinder block (30,31) containing a cylinder bore (41,42); a drive shaft (39) rotatably supported by the cylinder block; a cam (40,48) attached to the drive shaft to be rotatable integrally therewith; a piston (1,43) housed in the cylinder bore; and a shoe (7,44) having a spherical and flat sliding surface and slidably interposed between the piston and the cam; the piston being reciprocated via the shoe as the cam is rotated; the piston being made of an aluminum or aluminum alloy matrix and having a receiving portion (2,46) for slidably receiving the spherical surface (8,47) of the shoe therein, characterized in that the shoe is made of a ferrous metal matrix and a coating layer containing tin as a major component is formed at the receiving recess of the piston.
Abstract:
A single-headed piston type swash-plate-operated refrigerant compressor is provided with a swash plate mounted on a rotatable drive shaft and having front and rear opposite surfaces, single headed pistons arranged on the rear side of the swash plate to reciprocate in respective cylinder bores, and front and rear shoes to be held in slide-contact with the peripheral parts of the front and rear surfaces of the swash plate to engage a tail end part of each of the single headed pistons with the swash plate in which the front and rear surfaces of the swash plate are provided with respective uppermost layers having physical surface properties different from one another. A front uppermost and a rear uppermost layer of the swash plate are formed of a sprayed coating of, for example, a copper-base material and the rear uppermost layer is coated by a solid lubricant layer containing a solid lubricant, such as molybdenum disulfide, at least in a part of the solid lubricant. The thickness of the solid lubricant layer is measured and controlled by using the surface of the front layer as a reference plane.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an axial piston engine comprising an inclined disc (13), sliding shoes (9, 10) with step bearings (25), as well as a lower retainer ring (18) and a ring (16) placed on the motor shaft (1) and having a curved outer surface in contact with the inner surface of the lower retainer ring (18). The bearings (19-21) of the lower retainer ring (18) are provided with a lubricant agent, at least in the contact region with the motor shaft (1).

Abstract:
A piston type compressor has a housing, a cylinder block and a piston. The cylinder block is fixed to the housing. The piston is accommodated in the cylinder block. A piston ring is provided between the cylinder block and the piston. A sealing coat is made of soft metal, and is provided between the piston ring and the piston.
Abstract:
In order to improve the wear resistance of the swash plate of a swash-plate type compressor, on which plate copper alloy is flame-sprayed, a composite material, which consists of copper or first copper alloy (for example Cu - Pb alloy) including at least unmelted phase and aluminum or first aluminum alloy (for example Al - Si alloy) including at least melted phase, is flame sprayed on the sliding surface with a shoe.
