A swash plate mechanism consists of a drive element that can be rotated about a main axis, a transmission element that can be rotated about a swash plate axis, the swash plate axis intersecting the main axis at a swash plate angle and rotating about the main axis together with the drive element, a power take-off element and a supporting element. A first coupler is arranged between the transmission element and the power take-off element and a second coupler is arranged between the transmission element and the supporting element, with at least one of the two couplers being a pair of teeth, and with the teeth of the pairs of teeth serving as coupling means being designed as spur toothing.
