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.
