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. The first and second scroll bodies have respective bases and respective scroll ribs that project from the respective bases. Further, the scroll ribs mutually engage such that the second scroll body is movable relative to the first scroll body to compress fluid. A drive shaft has an eccentric drive pin configured to engage a drive hub on the second scroll body. The scroll compress also includes a slider block that fits over the drive pin. The slider block has a first drive surface configured to engage a second drive surface of the drive pin. In particular embodiments, the slider block can tilt about one or more edges of the second drive surface when the drive shaft is deflected under load.
