Abstract
A compressor includes a shell, a non-orbiting scroll disposed within the shell, an orbiting scroll disposed within the shell and meshed with the non-orbiting scroll, a driveshaft operable to drive the orbiting scroll relative to the non-orbiting scroll, and a ring-shaped counterweight assembly positioned on the driveshaft. The counterweight assembly has two radial surfaces and a circumferential edge between the two radial surfaces, and the counterweight assembly includes a counterweight fixed on the driveshaft and a cover attached to one of the counterweight and the driveshaft via a snap fit connection. The counterweight and the cover cooperate to define the counterweight assembly.
