Abstract
A crankshaft having at least two eccentric members of different diameter and a method of assembling a reciprocating compressor using a crankshaft having at least two eccentric members of different diameter are provided. A crankshaft having two eccentric members of different diameter is provided for more easily assembling a four-cylinder reciprocating compressor. The eccentric member having a smaller diameter is more easily inserted through apertures of connecting rods having a larger diameter than the eccentric member.
