  • Patent number: 5547346
    Abstract: In a housing 1, 2, a rotor 11 is secured to a drive shaft 6 and a sleeve 12 is supported movably. A rotary swash plate 14 is tiltably supported on the sleeve 12 and is coupled to the rotor 11. Coupled to the rotary swash plate 14 are pistons 8 which move in the respective bores 9. A fluid is supplied to each bore 9 from a suction chamber 20, and a fluid compressed by each piston 8 is discharged to a discharge chamber 21. A control valve 25 controls the difference between the pressure in the suction chamber 20 and the pressure in a crank chamber 5 to change the inclination angle of the rotary swash plate 14, so that the discharge displacement of a compressor becomes variable. In the housing 1, a spool 32 is movably provided while enclosing the drive shaft 6.
