Swash plate-type compressor
View Patent ↗A swash plate-type compressor included a rotatable swash plate and a piston. The piston is connected to the swash plate via at least one shoe and reciprocates in company with each rotation of the swash plate. The swash plate has a layer of a sintered metal impregnated with a resin on at least a swash plate surface sliding against the at least one shoe. A surface of the impregnated layer is ground.
