Abstract

The horizontal reciprocating compressor is provided with a cylinder, piston and piston rod connected to the piston. An eccentric ring is mounted eccentrically within the piston and rotatably receives the piston rod. Rotation of the eccentric ring from time to time serves to move the axis of the piston rod vertically relative to the axis of the piston so as to eliminate runout.
