Abstract
A compressor including a prime mover having an output element which supplies a motive force produced by the prime mover; a compression module having an input element; a tensioned belt connecting the prime mover output element and the compression module input element to transmit the motive force from the prime mover to the compression module, and a self-adjusting belt tensioning member for applying a substantially constant tensioning force to the belt to maintain substantially constant the predetermined required belt tension. The compressor also includes an anchor bracket connected to the compression module, and a locator plate connected to the anchor bracket, the locator plate being movable relative to the anchor bracket, the anchor bracket having a stop member for limiting movement of the locator plate.
