Abstract:
1. A device for assembling a swash plate-type fluid machine for incorporating a shaft assembly, which has a plurality of pistons each installed on a swash plate via a pair of shoes matching with both end surfaces of the swash plate, respectively, into a cylinder block, the device comprising: an assembly support portion for supporting the shaft assembly in a vertical axis posture with the respective pistons suspended by the swash plate; a cylinder block support portion for supporting the cylinder block, wherein the assembly support portion and the cylinder block support portion approach each other to insert the pistons of the shaft assembly into a corresponding one of cylinder bores of the cylinder block; and a correction surface that is movable in a reciprocating manner into and out of an opening portion of the corresponding one of the cylinder bores of the cylinder block and can be positioned to protrude above an end surface of the opening portion, wherein the correction surface is brought into surface contact with an end surface of each of the pistons of the shaft assembly, which is supported by the assembly support portion, to correct a posture of each respective piston.
