Abstract
A scroll machine includes a shell and a pair of scroll members. At least one of the scroll members disposed in the shell is mounted for axial movement with respect to the other scroll member disposed in the scroll. The amount of axial movement of at least one scroll member is accurately controlled by providing a stop. The stop is defined by the contact of the end plate of the at least one scroll member with another member of the scroll machine which is accurately positioned within the shell of the scroll machine. The member can be either the shell or another component which engages the shell.
