  • Publication number: 20100104460
    Abstract: A compressor comprising a sealed chamber delimited laterally by a shell, a drive shaft housed in the shell and guided relative to the other parts of the compressor via at least one bearing provided in a bearing support fixed to the internal wall of the shell. The method comprises steps consisting in supplying a shell have, in the fixing plane of the bearing support, an oval section comprising a small axis to which the bearing support is intended to be mounted, exerting a pressure on the shell in order to elastically deform it so as to increase the length of its small axis, inserting and positioning the bearing support in the fixing plane of the latter, and ceasing to exert a pressure on the shell so that the latter tends to elastically return to its original form and grip the bearing support.

  • Patent number: 6616429
    Abstract: This method comprises carrying out the mounting of the body of the compressor and of the compression elements in the casing of the compressor, with the body or fixed scroll bearing on one end of the shroud of the casing, and then welding a cap to the shroud, the crankshaft being engaged in a bearing belonging to the movable part of the compression stage and in a bearing belonging to the body, engaging on the free end of the crankshaft a bearing mounted in a support, itself mounted with radial play in the shroud, with the possibility of being fastened to the latter, displacing the free end of the crankshaft in a plurality of directions perpendicular to its axis, in order to take into account the plays of the bearing mounted in the body, then determining the axis of the bearing on the basis of the various displacements, positioning the bearing and/or its support as a function of this axis, and fastening the support to the casing of the compressor or the bearing on its support.
