Abstract
A drive apparatus for a wobble plate machine includes a transport chamber having at least two side walls. A wobble plate is disposed in the transport chamber and abuts at least one of the side walls to form a seal and to divide the transport chamber into two mutually independent transport chambers. A wobble plate shaft is connected to the wobble plate to move the wobble plate about a wobble point. A drive shaft is drivingly connected to the wobble plate shaft. The wobble plate shaft is disposed at an angle with respect to the drive shaft. The connection between the drive shaft and the wobble plate shaft is moveable by a spring so that the angle may vary to a largest possible angle. The spring is supported by the wobble plate shaft and the drive shaft.
