Abstract
A rotary compressor includes a casing, an electric motor, a compression mechanism and a balance weight mechanism. The electric motor includes a stator fixed to the casing, and a rotor. The compression mechanism is connected to the electric motor via a drive shaft. The balance weight mechanism is configured to cause centrifugal force to act on the drive shaft. The rotor includes a rotor core including a plurality of stacked electromagnetic steel sheets, and a rivet configured to clamp the rotor core at axial ends of the rotor core. The balance weight mechanism includes an insertion portion into which drive shaft is press fit, and a flat portion forming a flat surface at an axial end of the drive shaft. The balance weight mechanism is disposed at an axial end portion of the rotor to cover a head of the rivet.
