Abstract
In a compressor, a lubricant groove for a contact area between a self-aligning spherical bearing and a housing therefor opens to a relatively low pressure chamber, but is prevented from opening to a relatively high pressure chamber, the housing has an arrangement for restraining a transmission of deformation and/or heat energy from a welded portion thereon to the contact area, and a main shaft, the housing, a housing lid and a pipe for lubricant circulation are coaxially arranged.
