Compressor, in particular for a vehicle air conditioning system

Abstract

A compressor, in particular for a vehicle air conditioning system, with a housing, which contains a device for conveying a compressed medium driven by a drive shaft, designed as an axial piston machine and having at least one piston reciprocating in a cylinder block and a take-up plate connected to the piston working in combination with a swash plate rotating around a rotational axis, whereby the swash plate is connected to the drive shaft by a carrier and whereby the take-up plate encompasses a support device working in combination with a non-rotating thrust bearing. The compressor is distinguished by the fact that the housing has two housing sections, each with a clamping shoulder, between which the cylinder block is clamped, and that the drive shaft is carried in the cylinder block by a fixed bearing and/or that the carrier and the drive shaft are materially connected together or are made as one piece and/or that the support device includes a projection projecting from the take-up plate, preferably connected to this as one piece, and a support element, that the support element has a first sliding surface, which works in combination with a bearing surface (second bearing surface) of the thrust bearing, and that the projection and the support element are positively connected together via a second sliding surface.
