The first and second scroll bodies have respective bases and respective scroll ribs that project from the respective bases, wherein the scroll ribs mutually engage. The second scroll body is movable relative to the first scroll body for compressing fluid. A drive unit rotates a drive shaft to drive the second scroll body in an orbital path. The drive shaft has an eccentric drive configured to engage a corresponding drive hub on the second scroll body. The eccentric drive has a drive surface acting on the corresponding drive hub in a first plane. The drive shaft has a locating feature for a counterweight. The locating feature is aligned in either the first plane or a second plane parallel to the first plane.
