Abstract
A rotary compressor has an electric motor and a compressing mechanism drivingly connected together by a crank shaft and disposed in a closed housing. The compressing mechanism has a rolling piston rotatable in a cylinder bore and driven by an eccentric portion of the crank shaft. First, second and third balancers are mounted on an end of the crank shaft and on the opposite ends of a motor rotor, respectively. The second and third balancers are formed therein with weight-adjusting holes by which the masses of the second and third balancers are finely adjusted to fall within tolerable ranges.
