Compressor

Abstract

This compressor includes housing members that form a body; a drive shaft linked to a drive power source via an electromagnetic clutch; movable members moving in cooperation with the drive shaft and carrying out the compression of a fluid; a detected body moving in cooperation with the drive shaft; a drain bolt screwed into a drain bolt hole provided in a housing member in proximity to the detected body; and a detecting device detecting the rotation state of the drive shaft by the detected body. The drain bolt is provided with a permanent magnet, the detecting device is structured by a magnetic sensor that includes a magnetic impedance element, and the magnetic sensor is provided at the head portion of the drain bolt. Thereby, it is possible to provide a rotation detecting mechanism by using an existing drain bolt, without requiring the machining of a hole in the compressor body.
