Variable displacement compressor

摘要

A compressor (Cp) that generates relatively little noise and prevents partial clutch engagement and gas leakage when the inclination of a cam plate (32) is suddenly decreased by a great amount. The compressor includes a control valve (49) that electrically controls the compressor displacement based on external information. The rear end (16b) of a drive shaft (16) is supported by an shaft bore (71) formed in a cylinder block (12). A stopper (76, 77, 14, 102, 103, 111, 121, 122) is located endwise of the drive shaft to limit axial movement of the drive shaft. The stopper may be very stiff spring or a rigid member. <IMAGE>
