Abstract
A scroll compressor having a housing containing a non-orbiting scroll and an orbiting scroll and a crankshaft having an eccentric mounted on the orbiting scroll, the non-orbiting scroll being fixed in operative position on the housing by a plurality of pairs of cooperating, mating key and keyway type components provided on the housing and non-orbiting scroll and mating with predesigned pressure contact, wherein all of the pairs have been mated with substantially equal pressure contact prior to fixing the positions of the pairs on the housing, and wherein the mated pairs allow axial compliance motion of the non-orbiting scroll while providing predetermined resistance to the motion.
