Abstract:
A motor-operated compressor that accommodates a piston within each of a plurality of cylinder bores laid out around a rotary shaft, and that has a shoe disposed between a swash plate that rotates integrally with said rotary shaft and each piston so that said shoe is in a sliding contact with both said swash plate and said piston, thereby to reciprocally move said piston by transmitting the rotational force of said swash plate to the piston via said shoe, whereinsaid piston for making a reciprocating motion is a single-headed piston that discharges a gas from said cylinder bores only during a forward motion, and said rotary shaft is driven by a motor, and wherein said motor is accommodated within a motor housing, a thrust load receiving member is provided within said motor housing, and said thrust load receiving member receives the compressive reaction force when said single-headed piston makes a reciprocating motion.
