Abstract
A compressor includes a rotary drive shaft having a first end and a second end, both the ends being rotatably supported by opposing walls of a crank chamber defined in a casing and a swash plate tiltably mounted on the drive shaft and operably coupled with a piston in a cylinder bore. A rotation of the drive shaft results in a reciprocating movement of the piston for compressing refrigerant gas in a cylinder bore. A rotary member is secured to the first end which extends outside the casing. the rotary member supplies a power to the drive shaft from a power supply. A support member, disposed between the rotary member and the first end, protrudes outward from the casing. A first bearing, disposed between the support member and the rotary member, receives a thrust load and a radial load acting on the rotary member when the rotary member rotates. A second bearing, disposed between the casing and the second end, receives the radial load acting on the rotary member when the rotary member rotates.
