Abstract
The orientation of the elements of a slider block radial compliance mechanism for a scroll compressor is such that the point of application of the actuating force is shifted from a first line extending through the center of gravity of the counterweight and the axis of the crankshaft to a second line parallel to said first line and extending through the axis of the orbiting scroll. The result of the changed orientation is an increase in the magnitude of both the sealing force between the scroll elements and the actuating force to move the mechanism.
