Abstract
A scroll compressor includes a compression mechanism, a crankshaft, upper and lower bearings, and a drive motor. The compression mechanism includes fixed and movable scrolls engaged with each other to form a compression chamber. The crankshaft has a main shaft and an eccentric portion eccentrically disposed at one end of the main shaft and coupled to a back side of the movable scroll. The upper and lower bearings support upper and lower portions of the main shaft. The drive motor has a stator and a rotor coupled to the main shaft to rotate the movable scroll. At least one of the main shaft and the rotor is provided with a weight arranged to reduce distortion of the crankshaft caused by a fluid load generated in the compression chamber and applied to the eccentric portion during rotation.
