Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus that reduces friction loss in a scroll compressor including a floating ring member inserted in an insertion recess of a hub formed on a lower part of an orbiting scroll to be rotated and revolved, and a slide bush which is fixed on an eccentric portion of a rotary shaft and is inserted in a center of the floating ring member in order to minimize friction loss and component abrasion generated during transmitting rotating force of a driving motor to the orbiting scroll. Therefore, in the present invention, the worn components can be replaced easily.
