A hydraulically operated swash-plate apparatus includes a cylinder block rotatably supported in a case and having a plurality of axial cylinders arranged in an annular pattern, the case having an end plate for bearing a thrust load from the cylinder block, a plurality of plungers received respectively in the cylinders, a swash plate supported in the case by trunnions and slidably held against the free ends of the plungers, an actuator for tilting the swash plate, the plungers being movable into and out of the respective cylinders by a stroke which is variable according to the angle of inclination of the swash plate, a support member by which the trunnions are rotatably supported, and a tension member coupling the end plate and the support member to each other. The apparatus also includes a stopper mounted in the case for engaging a back of the swash plate to limit the maximum angle of inclination of the swash plate.
