Abstract: A vane-type compressor is disclosed having a rotor that is disposed eccentrially in a housing cylinder. Vane sliders are guided in the rotor so that they deviate by a few angular degrees from the radial direction. Elastic O-rings are provided in end-face ring grooves of the rotor, which rings are elastically deformable in their cross-section with the rings acting as noise-reducing spring and damping bodies for the vane sliders when moving adjacent their respective inner dead-center position. For promoting the durability of the O-rings they are constantly twisted by the tangential component of the impact force of the vane sliders inside the ring grooves.
