  • Patent number: 7722337
    Abstract: The invention concerns a piston compressor cylinder arrangement (1), particularly for a hermetically enclosed refrigerant compressor, with a cylinder body (2) and a cylinder head arrangement (7), the cylinder body (2) having a first front side (6) in the area of the cylinder head arrangement (7) and a second front side (8) at the other end. It is endeavoured to manufacture such a cylinder arrangement in a cost-effective manner without having to fear for a deformation during mounting. For this purpose, a cup-shaped mounting sleeve (9) surrounds the cylinder body (2) over its full axial working length with a radial distance on all sides.

  • Publication number: 20090070990
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for mounting a drive shaft (19) of a compressor, particularly a hermetical refrigerant compressor, which has a motor with a stator (1) and a rotor (23), connected with the drive shaft (19) and located in a rotor opening (4) of the stator (1), a first bearing support (8) and a second bearing support (29) being connected with the stator (1), a first bearing (15) for the drive shaft (19) being mounted in the first bearing support (8) and a second bearing (28) for the drive shaft (19) being mounted in the second bearing support (29). It is endeavoured to provide a method for mounting a drive shaft, in which the use of components with relatively large manufacturing tolerances will still result in a good alignment of the drive shaft in relation to the stator. For this purpose, at least the first bearing support (8) is provided with a positioning stop for the first bearing (15) after mounting the first bearing support (8) on the stator (1).

  • Patent number: 7309940
    Abstract: The invention concerns a rotor arrangement for an electrical drive motor of a compressor, particularly a refrigerant compressor, with a rotor having a rotor lamination of stacked sheet plates, and a shaft, which is inserted in an axial recess of the rotor lamination and is unrotatably connected with the rotor lamination, the recess being formed by openings in adjacent sheet plates. It is endeavoured to simplify the manufacturing of such rotor arrangements. For this purpose, it is ensured that openings of different sizes are provided in the sheet plates, at least two sheet plates forming a first group, each having an opening, which is smaller than the cross-section of the shaft, the remaining sheet plates forming a second group, each having an opening, which is larger than the cross-section of the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20060191370
    Abstract: The invention concerns a compressor crankshaft (1), particularly a refrigerant compressor crankshaft, with a hollow shaft element (2), a crank pin (3) arranged eccentrically to the shaft element (2) and a transition element (4) between the shaft element (2) and the crank pin (3). It is endeavoured to reduce the manufacturing costs. For this purpose, the shaft element (2) has at least two shaft sections (5, 6) joined in a telescope-like manner, which engage in each other in an overlapping area (7).
