Abstract
A variable output axial compressor having an improved socket plate guide mechanism. A spherical bearing body is reciprocally supported on a guide rod which extends axially through the compressor socket plate cavity. A pair of guide shoes, radially movable in complementary socket plate guides, receive and relatively slidably retain the bearing body therebetween obviating rotational movement of the socket plate. The guide rod includes a longitudinal, fluid flow passage for carrying control fluid through the socket plate chamber from the rear head to an expansible chamber at the front cover.
