Abstract: A scroll-type machine is disclosed which incorporates a lubricant impregnated drive bushing. The lubricant utilized for the impregnation process will preferably be of a type which is insoluble in the fluid being handled by the scroll-type machine, will remain trapped in the pores of the drive bushing under normal operating temperatures as well as any temperatures encountered during manufacturing processes to which the assembled compressor may be subjected yet will wick out of the bushing when its temperature increases such as may occur when insufficient lubricant is being supplied thereto by the normal lubrication system.
