The crank shaft has formed thereon coaxial sections each concentric to the axis of rotation of the crank shaft and disposed between the eccentric pin section and one of the thrust bearing sections to decrease the axial dimensions thereof and of the eccentric pin section for thereby decreasing the total mass unbalance of the eccentric portion of the crank shaft whereby crank shaft deflection due to mass unbalance is remarkably reduced particularly at a high speed operation.

Abstract: A rotary compressor has a plate-like hollow vane disposed in sliding contact with a rotary piston. The vane has an internal cavity formed by a plurality of bores each having a substantially rectangular cross-section. The corners of each bore are each formed by a curved concave surface of a radius of curvature which is greater than the thicknesses of the outer walls of the vane. The major side surfaces of the vane are in slidable contact with opposing walls of a vane slot and have surface layers each formed of an oxide film consisting mainly of tri-iron tetraoxide (Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4). The film is finished by smoothing processing, thus attaining a smaller friction between the vane major side surfaces and the vane slot walls and suppressing local wear of the vane slot walls.
