A swash plate type variable-capacity compressor (3) includes a piston (23) with a piston rod (53) and a piston driving mechanism, the piston driving mechanism comprising a drive shaft(5), a swash plate (59) inclined and hinged with the drive shaft (5) to be rotatable together with the drive shaft (5) but being swingable on the drive shaft (5), and sliding shoes (79, 81) coupling the swash plate (59) to the piston rod (51) so as to reciprocate the piston (23) by rotation of the swash plate (59). In the compressor (3), the swash plate (59) is made of a copper alloy. Preferably, the copper alloy is at least one alloy selected from the group consisting of a high-strength brass alloy, a bronze alloy, and a lead-bronze alloy. <IMAGE> |
