Abstract
A piston drive device includes: a crankcase; first and second compression cylinders fixed to the crankcase; first and second vacuum cylinders fixed to the crankcase; a rotational shaft rotatably supported within the crankcase; first and second compression pistons connected to the rotational shaft and reciprocating respectively within the first and second compression cylinders; and first and second vacuum pistons connected to the rotational shaft and reciprocating respectively within the first and second vacuum cylinders; wherein each diameter of piston heads of the first and second compression pistons is smaller than each diameter of piston heads of the first and second vacuum pistons, and the first and second compression pistons are connected to the rotational shaft so as to sandwich the first and second vacuum pistons in an axial direction of the rotational shaft.
