Abstract
An air compressor includes a compressor body, an electric motor, a gear mechanism, a gear casing, a partitioning wall, and a screw seal. The screw seal locates in a through hole formed to the partitioning wall, where a rotating shaft of the electric motor passes through, and makes an air flow from the electric motor side to the gear mechanism side in the through hole with rotating of the rotation shaft. The air compressor also includes a bearing that supports that rotating shaft is arranged to the gear mechanism side of the partitioning wall, such that a rotor of the electric motor has overhang structure. The air compressor also includes a communication hole that communicates the electric motor side from the screw seal of the through hole and an outside of the air compressor not through the internal space of the casing of the electric motor.
