<p>A swash plate (10) is operably connected through a lug plate (11) and a hinge mechanism (12) to a drive shaft (9), and slidably retained on an end part of each piston (8). through a pair of front and rear shoes (15a, 15b). A rotational motion of the swash plate (10) following rotation of the drive shaft (9) is converted through the shoes (15a, 15b) into a reciprocating motion of each piston (8). A thermoplastic polyimide coating (17) is formed on the swash plate (10) and the shoes (15a, 15b) as sliding components of a compressor (C). The thermoplastic polyimide coating (17) may contain a solid lubricant. For the solid lubricant, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene is used. Thus, it is possible to obtain a compressor, which includes the sliding components having improved sliding characteristics, and is manufactured relatively easily. <IMAGE></p> |
