The invention provides a hydraulic rotating
machine capable of improving the wearing performance and the
lubricity of the sliding surface of the cylinder and the
piston and a manufacturing method thereof. The hydraulic rotating
machine(1) comprises a housing (2), a rotating shaft (3), a cylinder body (4), a
piston (5), a slipper shoe (6), an inclined plate (7), and a valve plate (8). A cylinder hole (15) passes through the cylinder body (4), and a
nitrogen diffusion layer (30) and a
nitrogen compound layer (31), which are disposed in the cylinder hole (15) in the cylinder body (4), and are respectively the surface side of the sliding surface of the
piston (5). The
nitrogen diffusion layer (30) is disposed on a parent
metal (34) side made of iron materials of the cylinder body (4), and the nitrogen compound layer (31) is disposed on the nitrogen
diffusion layer (30). The parts of the surface sides of the nitrogen compound layer (31) and the nitrogen
diffusion layer (30) can be removed to form the nitrogen
diffusion layer (30), which can be exposed by removing the nitrogen compound layer (31), and the concave nitrogen compound layer (32), which is provided with the nitrogen compound layer in the concave part, can be provided.
