Bearing in a swash plate compressor

摘要

A thrust bearing between the housing (11) and a lug plate (16) transmits a thrust load applied to the lug plate. The bearing includes a front race (31) next to the housing, a rear race (32) next to the lug plate, and rollers (33) between the races. A front seat (34) supporting the front race is formed on the housing and a rear seat (35) for supporting the rear race is formed on the lug plate. The diameters of the seats are different which causes elastic deformation of the races when a thrust load is applied. The front and rear seats are annular. The front annular seat is concentric with a drive shaft (15).
