Abstract:
Axial piston compressor with a drive shaft (12) for a disc (14) that is mounted on the drive shaft in such a way that it can be tilted relative to the drive shaft about a pivotal axis (C), and at least one piston (18), wherein the pivotal axis (C) of the disc (14) is disposed eccentrically with respect to the mid-plane of the disc,characterized in that the piston (18) is provided with at least two sliding blocks (20) that move the disc (14) axially on a slideway, arranged such that the piston (18) encloses the sliding blocks (20) in a C-shaped structure, and that the position of the pivotal axis (C) relative to the mid-plane of the disc is on the side that faces the piston (18), so that the disc (14) can be independently tilted relative to the sliding blocks (20) in such a way that the slideway of the sliding blocks projects beyond the edge of the disc only slightly or not at all whereby a constant pivotal axis is defined for the disc.
