A scroll compressor includes a rotor, a stator, a rotary shaft, an end bracket, an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll, a suction type cooling fan, and a discharge brush. The discharge brush is fixed to the end bracket facing the cooling fan by a fixing member attached in a radial direction relative to the rotary shaft, and one end of which is in contact with the rotary shaft, in a space secured by the clearance.

A lubricating layer having wear resistance and reliability on the wear resistance, and a compressor including a lubricating layer are provided. The compressor may include a lubricating layer coated on a frictional portion between a rotational shaft and a bearing. The lubricating layer may include at least one metal phase selected from a group consisting of Titanium (Ti); and Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), and Zirconium (Zr), and may be a composite structure of amorphous and nanocrystalline materials.

Provided is a scroll compressor capable of reducing a shaft voltage and achieving space savings for the entire apparatus. A scroll compressor 100 includes a rotor 32 that is stored in a motor casing 14; a stator 31 that is stored in the motor casing 14, and drives the rotor 32 to rotate; a rotary shaft 12 that is held by bearings 33 and 34, and rotates integrally with the rotor 32; an end bracket 16 through which one end portion of the rotary shaft 12 passes, and which seals the motor casing 14; an orbiting scroll 44 that supports the other end portion of the rotary shaft 12, and orbits as the rotary shaft 12 rotates; a fixed scroll 43 that is disposed facing the orbiting scroll 44; a suction type cooling fan 13 which is fixed to one end portion of the rotary shaft 12 while being apart by a clearance from the end bracket 16, and which suctions outside air through a suction port provided in an end surface 132A of a fan cover 132, and generates cooling wind for cooling the fixed scroll 43 or the orbiting scroll 44 in the fan cover 132, as a rotary vane 131 accommodated in the fan cover 132 rotates; and a discharge brush 60 which is fixed to the end bracket 16 facing the cooling fan 13, and one end of which is in contact with the rotary shaft 12.

A pumping mechanism is disclosed. The pumping mechanism may include a barrel formed of a barrel substrate and including a first end surface, a second end surface opposite the first end surface, and a bore between the first and second end surfaces. Each of the first and second end surfaces and the bore is coated with a metal plating. The pumping mechanism may further include a plunger formed of a plunger substrate and configured to be slidably disposed in the bore in barrel, the plunger substrate having a tribological coating.

A pump is disclosed. The pump may include at least one pumping mechanism. The at least one pumping mechanism may include a barrel formed of a substrate having a bore and a plunger formed of a substrate and slidably disposed within the bore in the barrel. The pump may further include a coating disposed on the plunger. The coating may include a main layer containing a tribological material and a sacrificial break-in layer disposed on the main layer, the break-in layer containing a tribological material.

An inside surface of an internal combustion engine liner is treated to have a surface roughness Ra smaller than 0.06 m, and then receives a DLC coating. A method of producing the internal combustion engine liner includes: forming the liner from a metal material, polishing an inside surface of the liner to obtain a polished inside surface of roughness Ra smaller than 0.06 m, and applying the DLC coating to the polished inside surface.

A pumping mechanism is disclosed.

Each of the first and second end surfaces and the bore is coated with a metal plating. The pumping mechanism may further include a plunger formed of a plunger substrate and configured to be slidably disposed in the bore in barrel, the plunger substrate having a tribological coating.
