Abstract
A swash plate type compressor is arranged with a plurality of semispherical shoes and a disc shaped swash plate. A resin coating is formed on a surface and a rear surface (sliding surface) of the swash plate which slides with the shoe. The resin coating includes a structure whereby multiple hexagonal cylinder bodies are fabricated on a surface of a substrate and an end surface of each cylinder body forms a sliding surface which slides with the shoe. In addition, a honeycomb shaped groove is formed at an adjacent position of each cylinder body forming a storage part of a lubricant O and a container part for foreign objects. The swash plate can be provided with excellent wear resistance, seizure resistance and lubrication retention.
Claims3
A sliding component comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a coating layer formed on a surface of the base, the coating layer forming a sliding surface which slides with a movable component comprising:
- wherein
- the coating layer is formed from a resin coating having a structure wherein multiple hexagonal cylinder shaped bodies or multiple triangular cylinder shaped bodies are fabricated on a surface of the base;
