Abstract
A variable capacity single-headed piston type refrigerant compressor provided with an aluminum-made cam plate rotating with an axial drive shaft to cause reciprocation of a plurality of single-headed pistons within respective cylinder bores, the cam plate further axially moving in parallel with the drive shaft to adjustably change its angle of inclination with respect to a reference plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft to thereby adjustably vary the capacity of the compressor, the cam plate being further provided with a weight made of iron system material and generating a centrifugal force on the cam plate during the rotation of the cam plate to thereby produce a moment M2 counteracting an unfavorable moment M1 acting on the cam plate due to the high-speed reciprocation of the pistons.
