(54)	Rotor for variable displacement swash plate compressor

(57) Variable displacement compressors 30 may include a rotor 7 that is press-formed from a plate W. The rotor 7 is fixedly mounted on a drive shaft 6 and is coupled to a swash plate 8 via a hinge device 20. The hinge device 20 preferably permits the swash plate 8 to rotate with the rotor 7 as well as the drive shaft 6 and also may permit the swash plate 8 to change its inclination angle relative to the rotor 7 as well as the drive shaft 6. The swash plate 8 may be coupled to a piston(s) 11 that reciprocates within a cylinder bore(s) 2a.
