Abstract
A scroll compressor that includes a housing and scroll compressor bodies disposed in the housing. The scroll bodies include a first scroll body and a second scroll body, where the first and second scroll bodies have respective bases and respective scroll ribs that project from the respective bases. The scroll ribs are configured to mutually engage, and the second scroll body is movable relative to the first scroll body for compressing fluid. A pilot ring engages a perimeter surface of the first scroll body to limit movement of the first scroll body in the radial direction. Further, the first scroll body has a radially-outward-projecting limit tab which abuts a portion of the pilot ring to limit movement of the first scroll body in one of the axial and rotational directions.
