Abstract:
In a piston for piston machines comprising a hollow body, open at least at its free end, having an axial cavity in which there is a filler piece at least partly filling the latter and consisting of a material of lower specific gravity than the material of the piston, said filler piece being secured in the cavity and being held axially in the cavity by a locking element arranged at the free end of the hollow body and a spring arranged between the locking element and the filler piece, the filler piece is inserted axially and the axial securing and locking is effected solely by the spring, which is pretensioned by the locking element to such an extent that it acts against the filler piece with a spring force greater than the maximum inertial forces of the filler piece acting against the spring to be expected when in operation.
Abstract:
A swash plate which is made of an iron-based or aluminum-based material and is used in a single-side compression type swash-plate compressor. A flame-sprayed copper-based alloy layer is formed on at least a sliding surface with a first shoe in a compression space side. The flame-sprayed copper-based alloy layer contains in total, by weight percentage, not less than 0.5% and not more than 50% of one or more kinds selected from not more than 40% of lead, not more than 30% of tin, not more than 0.5% of phosphorus, not more than 15% of aluminum, not more than 10% of silver, not more than 5% of silicon, not more than 5% of manganese, not more than 5% of chromium, not more than 20% of nickel, and not more than 30% of zinc and the balance essentially copper and impurities. Electrolytic plating, electroless plating, lubricant coating, phophatizing or hardening is applied on at least a second sliding surface with a second shoe in the side opposite to the compression space.
Abstract:
A swash plate type axial piston pump improved in respect to wear or abrasion-resistant capability of sliding members of the pump adapted to rotate relative to each other for protecting them from rapid wearing even upon high rotation of the pump. The axial piston pump includes a housing (1), a rotatable shaft (3) supported rotatably within the housing (1), an axial piston pump including a cylinder block (15) mounted on the shaft (3) axially slideably therealong and co-rotatably therewith and a plurality of pistons (21) accommodated axially reciprocatively within a corresponding number of cylinders, respectively, which extend axially, being arrayed around the rotatable shaft (3), a swash plate (23) disposed for moving reciprocatively the pistons (21) in axial direction as the shaft (3) is rotated, and a plurality of sliding members which are incorporated slideably relative to one another for constituting parts of the pump. At least one of the plural sliding members such as the valve plate (31), the cylinder block (15), the shoe (25), the swash plate (23), the shoe holder (27) and the supporting member (24) is coated with a nickel-phosphor-Teflon layer by plating.
Abstract:
The piston is formed with a piston head and a sleeve, fitted together such that the piston head has an outer end diameter matching the diameter of the cylinder, and then is formed with an offset inwardly extending shoulder, against which the piston sleeve can bear, to permit machining of the inner face of the piston head to form a bearing cup for a spherical head of a piston rod, and then assembly of the piston sleeve to bear against the abutment; drain line and oil connection lines may be formed in the piston to lead lubricating oil to the bearing cup. The piston head and sleeve can be connected by adhesives and, if necessary, tangentially located transverse pins.
Abstract:
A compressor comprises: a cylinder with a compression space; a suction port and a discharge port which communicate with the compression space in the cylinder; a support member which closes an opening of the cylinder; a rotary shaft which is rotatably supported on the support member; a compression member whose one surface crossing an axial direction of the rotary shaft is inclined continuously between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and which is rotated and compresses a fluid to discharge the fluid via the discharge port; and a vane which is disposed between a suction port and the discharge port, abuts on one surface of the compression member and partitions the compression space in the cylinder into high and low pressure chambers.
Abstract:
An object is to provide a highly efficient compressor while improving a refrigerant leakage, enhancing a performance of a compressor, improving durability, and enhancing reliability. The compressor comprises: a compression element comprising a cylinder in which a compression space is constituted; a suction port and a discharge port which communicate with the compression space in the cylinder; a support member which closes an opening of the cylinder; a rotary shaft which is rotatably supported by a main bearing as a bearing formed on the support member; a compression member whose one surface crossing an axial direction of the rotary shaft is inclined continuously between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and which is disposed in the cylinder to be rotated by the rotary shaft and which compresses a fluid sucked from the suction port to discharge the fluid via the discharge port; a vane which is disposed between the suction port and the discharge port to abut on one surface of the compression member and which partitions the compression space in the cylinder into a low pressure chamber and a high pressure chamber; and a shaft seal which is disposed on an end portion of the bearing (main bearing) on a side opposite to the compression member and which abuts on the rotary shaft.
Abstract:
A bearing assembly comprising, an inner race, an outer race spaced apart from the inner race and a plurality of rolling elements disposed in the space between the inner race and the outer race. The rolling elements are in rolling contact with the inner and outer races. An abrasion resistant coating is deposited on at least one of the inner race and the outer race. The coating is selected from the group consisting of metallic nitrides, metallic carbonitrides, and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
A sliding member of an iron-based non-porous material, such as vane, of a rotary compressor has a sliding surface processed by a surface treatment in which the surface is subjected to oxidizing and nitriding to form an oxidized and nitrided layer thereon. The surface is then subjected to a steam-treatment in which water is caused to react with components of the oxidized and nitrided layer to form a layer of oxidized iron of a porous network structure disposed outwardly of the oxidized and nitrided layer. The oxidized iron layer is composed mainly of tri-iron tetroxide and softer than the oxidized and nitrided layer.
Abstract:
A compressor having a compression element with a cylinder in which a compression space is constituted, a suction port and a discharge port which communicate with the compression space in the cylinder, a support member which closes an opening on the cylinder and a rotary shaft which is rotatably supported by a main bearing as a bearing formed on the support member. A compression member, whose one surface crosses an axial direction of the rotary shaft is inclined continuously between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and is disposed in the cylinder to be rotated by the rotary shaft, compresses a fluid sucked from the suction port to discharge the fluid via the discharge port. A vane which is disposed between the suction port and the discharge port to abut on one surface of the compression member partitions the compression space in the cylinder into a low pressure chamber and high pressure chamber. A shaft seal which is disposed on an end portion of the main bearing, on a side opposite to the compression member, abuts on the rotary shaft.
