Abstract: A rotary sliding-vane compressor includes an air cylinder, a shaft eccentrically mounted in the air cylinder and rotatable by a motor, sliding vanes coupled to and movable back and forth along radially extending sliding grooves of the shaft, and an oil-gas separating device mounted in the air output port of the air cylinder. The shaft has an axial hole located on one end thereof and coupled to the output shaft of the motor, and two axle bushes respectively mounted on the two opposite ends. Each sliding vane comprises a metal substrate having evenly distributed through holes, and a covering material molded on the surface of the metal substrate and filled up the through holes and having a plurality of discharge grooves.
