A variable displacement swash plate compressor includes a displacement control valve that is configured to change crank chamber pressure, and an opening adjusting valve that adjusts an amount of refrigerant sucked into a suction chamber. The opening adjusting valve includes a valve case, a first valve element, a second valve element, and an urging spring. The valve case has a valve seat on which the second valve element is seated. The valve seat regulates movement of the second valve element toward the first valve element. A sealing member is provided between an inner peripheral surface of the valve case that defines a second valve chamber and an outer peripheral surface of the second valve element to prevent refrigerant in the second valve chamber so that leakage between a bleed passage and a control passage is prevented.

A boosting device is provided with a drive unit which is driven under the action of energization, and a boosting mechanism which is connected to the drive unit and which boosts and outputs a pressurized fluid. The boosting mechanism comprises a rotating body which is connected to a drive shaft of a drive source and includes a slope portion, and four pistons opposing the rotating body and disposed moveably in an axial direction. The pistons are sequentially and continuously pushed in the axial direction by means of the slope portion of the rotating body, whereby the pressurized fluid is compressed and boosted in a boosting chamber. The pressurized fluid that has been boosted in the boosting chamber is discharged out of an output port through a discharge passageway when an exhaust check valve is opened.

A high pressure axial piston pump displaces high pressure, high volume fluid into a 1994-2003 7.3 liter power stroke or T444E International engine. A pump housing forms a central borehole, an intake port, and two discharge ports angled about 122 degrees from each other and in fluid communication with engine. A drive shaft rotates a cylinder block about an axis of rotation. A cam is tilted at an angle relative to axis of rotation. Multiple pistons, having a cam end and a block end, reciprocate through cylinder block. The cam end is constrained to follow surface of cam. When pistons move proximally to tilted cam, the block end restricts intake of fluid, and cam end enables discharge of fluid. When pistons move distally from tilted cam, the block end enables intake of fluid, and cam end restricts passage through discharge ports. The pump is fabricated from billet aluminum material.

The present invention provides a method for producing a durable semispherical shoe which can be prevented from being subjected to seizure even in a dry lubrication state in which there is no lubricating oil at a start time of an operation of a swash plate compressor, can be restrained from deteriorating in its lubricating property due to generated frictional heat, and can be restrained from deteriorating in its strength at a production time and an injection molding die. A semispherical shoe (4), for a swash plate compressor, to be produced by the production method has a base material (5), consisting of a hard material, which has a hollow part along a central axis thereof and a resin layer, consisting of a resin composition, which is formed on a surface of a planar part, disposed on a periphery of the base member, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate and on a surface of a spherical part, disposed on the periphery thereof, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with a piston. A resin-filled portion (8) where the resin composition is filled and an empty portion where the resin composition is not filled are formed in the hollow part of the base material. The resin-filled portion (8) and the resin layer are formed by injecting and filling the resin composition into a portion to be formed as the resin-filled portion (8) with the base material (5) being disposed inside a cavity (22) of the injection molding die.

A spool operation failure due to foreign matter contamination is prevented. A variable displacement compressor 100 includes a first control valve 300 controlling the opening degree of a supply passage 145, a check valve 350, a second control valve 400 controlling the opening degree of a discharge passage 146, and a back-pressure relief passage 147. The second control valve 400 includes a back pressure chamber 410 communicating with an intermediate supply passage 145b1, a valve chamber 420 to which a valve hole 103d and a discharge hole 431a are open and that constitutes a part of the discharge passage 146, a partition member 430 partitioning into the back pressure chamber 410 and the valve chamber 420, and a spool 440 extending through a through hole 432a formed in the partition member 430. The spool 440 has a pressure receiving portion 441 disposed in the back pressure chamber 410, a valve portion 442 disposed in the valve chamber 420, and a shaft portion 443. The spool 440 is supported in a manner slidable in the opening and closing directions on the partition member 430 by arranging the spool valve 440a, constituted by the valve portion 442 and the shaft portion 443, to be in contact with the partition member 430.

A swash plate compressor in which a lubricating film is not formed on a sliding contact surface of the swash plate and the piston owing to the use of the semispherical shoe. The semispherical shoe (4) is subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate of the swash plate compressor and the piston thereof. A base material (5) consists of a metallic member having a resin layer (6b) formed on a surface of a planar part (4b) that is subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate. A resin layer (6a) is formed on a surface of a spherical part (4a) to be subjected to sliding contact with the piston. The resin layer (6a) and the resin layer (6b) are integral with each other. At least one portion of the base material (5) is exposed.

To provide a displacement pump that can be assembled while properly maintaining side clearances. The displacement pump (100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105) of the present invention for sucking and discharging a fluid such as gasoline vapor by changing pressure in a space constituted by an outer peripheral surface of a rotor (1) and an inner wall surface of a casing (2), comprising a side clearance adjusting member (4), rotating with respect to the pump main body (6), for moving a shaft (3) integrally formed with the rotor (1) in an axial direction of the shaft (3).

A variable pressure air pump includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder movable relative to the first cylinder along a longitudinal axis. An air tube is mounted in the first and second cylinders. A mounting portion is integrally formed on a first end of the air tube. A first piston and a second piston compress air in the first and second cylinders. A connecting device is mounted to the first cylinder for coupling with an object to be inflated. An air escape device selectively seals a second chamber of the second cylinder to selectively compress the air in the second cylinder. A first check valve is mounted to the mounting portion of the air tube. A second check valve is mounted to the second piston.

A rotary compressor includes a cylinder, a drive unit, a piston, a vane, and an oil passage. The cylinder includes a suction chamber for suctioning fluid and a compression chamber for compressing fluid. The drive unit rotates a drive shaft by connecting to the cylinder. The piston oscillates in the cylinder by connecting to the drive shaft. The vane extends between the cylinder and the piston so as to separate the suction chamber from the compression chamber, and some parts of the length of the vane are inserted into a slide groove formed in the cylinder. One end of the vane is connected to the coupling groove formed in the piston. The oil passage is disposed between one end of the vane and the rolling piston so as to receive oil therethrough.
