Abstract
A variable displacement swash-plate compressor includes an actuator that changes the inclination angle of a swash plate. The actuator includes a movable body that moves along a drive shaft axis. The movable body includes an acting portion that pushes the swash plate. The swash plate includes a receiving portion that contacts and is pushed by the acting portion. The acting portion and the receiving portion contact each other at an acting position. A bottom dead center associated part for positioning the piston at a bottom dead center is defined on the swash plate. When the drive shaft and the acting position are viewed from a direction that is perpendicular to a top dead center plane containing the top dead center associated part and the drive shaft axis, the acting position is defined at a position overlapping with the drive shaft regardless of the inclination angle.
