Abstract
A scroll machine has a shell which houses a first scroll member, a second scroll member, a driving member and a bearing housing. The bearing housing rotatably supports the driving member and is attached to the shell. The bearing housing is designed such that it can be fully machined while being located and clamped into a single position. By completing the entire machining of the bearing housing in a single operation, multiple set-ups, multiple operations and tolerance stack up are eliminated creating a high quality component.
