  • Patent number: 11692546
    Abstract: A compressor may include a shell assembly, orbiting and non-orbiting scrolls, a bearing housing, a bushing, a damper, and a fastener. The bearing housing includes a first aperture. The bushing may include an axial end abutting the bearing housing. The bushing may extend through a second aperture of the non-orbiting scroll. The bushing may include a third aperture. The damper may be received in a pocket that may be defined by and disposed radially between an outer diametrical surface of the bushing and an inner diametrical surface of the non-orbiting scroll. The damper may be at least partially disposed within the second aperture and may encircle the second portion of the bushing. The fastener may include a shaft portion and a flange portion. The shaft portion may extend through the third aperture and into the first aperture. The flange portion may contact a first axial end of the damper.

  • Patent number: 10458409
    Abstract: A compressor may include a shell, a bearing housing, an orbiting scroll, and a non-orbiting scroll. The bearing housing is supported within the shell and includes a central body and a plurality of arms. Each arm extends radially outwardly from the central body and has a first aperture. The orbiting scroll is supported on the bearing housing. The non-orbiting scroll is meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and includes a plurality of second apertures. Each second aperture receives a plurality of bushings and a fastener. The fastener extends through the bushings and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing to rotatably secure the non-orbiting scroll relative to the bearing housing while allowing relative axial movement between the non-orbiting scroll and the bearing housing.
