Abstract
A scroll compressor is disclosed. A first main bearing and a second main bearing is coaxially formed on the sole frame but a balancer can be easily attached to a drive shaft by forming a space and an opening in the frame of the scroll compressor. The balancer is inserted through the opening formed in the periphery of the frame. One end of the drive shaft is inserted in the hole of the balancer and the first and second main bearings. The drive shaft and the balancer are fixed by suitable fixing means, so that the drive shaft is rotatably supported by the first and second main bearings, and the balancer can be rotated together with the drive shaft. Accordingly, since the frame of this invention has a single, integral frame structure, it is possible to coaxially form the first main bearing and the second main bearing, both of which are mounted on the frame.
