A gas compressor for use in a gas refrigerator includes a compression space having a volume varied with a positional shift of a piston when the latter reciprocates in a cylinder, a first buffer space communicating with the compression space in one direction with respect to the compression space and a second buffer space communicating with the compression space in the opposite direction. Forces acting on working surfaces of the piston are set in such a way that, when a reciprocation stroke of the piston is to be lengthened, a shift of a neutral position of the piston reciprocation toward the compression space is prevented and, when the reciprocation stroke is to be shortened, a shift of the neutral position away from the compression space is prevented, so that the dead space in the compression space is minimized and a highly efficient operation can be realized in a wide output control range.
