Abstract
A bearing arrangement for an air conditioning compressor comprising a compound bearing assembly that is adapted to journal a drive pulley and electromagnetic clutch assembly wherein the bearing assembly is adapted to distribute loads on the rotor shaft for the compressor whereby the shaft loading on the rotor shaft and the radial forces acting on the drive pulley are transferred through common bearing structure to the fixed compressor housing, thereby simplifying the bearing construction and eliminating machining operation during manufacture.
