Abstract

There is provided a method for assembling an electric motor capable of equalizing a gap formed between a stator and a rotor even when a casing body has low dimensional accuracy. In assembling an electric motor, such as an electric motor section of a scroll compressor to be employed in an air conditioner, outer diameters of bearings are made smaller than an inner diameter of the casing body. In a first assembling machine, a first bearing is welded to the casing body with a center of an inner peripheral surface of the stator aligned with a center of the first bearing. A rotary shaft around which the rotor is mounted, is inserted into a center portion of the casing body. In a second bearing assembling machine, a second bearing is welded to the casing body with the center of the first bearing aligned with a center of the second bearing. Consequently, an electric motor can be produced in which the stator, the first bearing, and the second bearing are concentrically aligned with each other.
