Abstract
A scroll compressor includes a rotary shaft, an eccentric shaft that is eccentric with respect to an axis of the rotary shaft, a bushing that receives the eccentric shaft, and a shaft balancer that rotates integrally with the rotary shaft. The bushing includes a bushing balancer. The shaft balancer includes a first section and a second section. When viewed in the axial direction of the rotary shaft, the first section is located on the same side of a second straight line as the center of gravity of the bushing balancer. The second straight line contains the center of gravity of the shaft balancer and the axis of the rotary shaft. The second section is located on an opposite side of the second straight line from the center of gravity of the bushing balancer. The stiffness of the first section is lower than the stiffness of the second section.
