Abstract
A scroll compressor includes a scroll assembly accommodated in a closed container, a crankshaft for driving the scroll assembly, a main bearing for rotatably supporting one end of the crankshaft, and an auxiliary bearing for rotatably supporting the other end of the crankshaft. A recess is defined between the internal surface of the closed container and the external surface of a compression section comprised of the scroll assembly and the main bearing. A portion of a jig is inserted into the recess to achieve concentricity and parallelism of the auxiliary bearing with respect to the main bearing using reference planes defined in the auxiliary bearing and the compression section or by radially adjusting the auxiliary bearing.
