An axial flow fluid compressor and a method of assembling the same.

摘要

A compressor includes a cylinder (7), and a rotating body (8) located in the cylinder. A spiral groove (11) is formed on the outer periphery of the rotating body. A spiral blade (9) is fitted in the groove and divides the space between the inner periphery of the cylinder and the outer periphery of the rotating body into operating chambers (10) which have volumes gradually decreasing with distance from one end of the cylinder. A drive motor (4) rotates the cylinder and the rotating body relative to each other. The drive motor includes a cylindrical stator (17) fixed on a closed casing and a rotor (18) mounted on the cylinder (7) and situated inside the stator (17) coaxially, with a motor air gap provided therebetween. A main bearing (15) is engaged with the axial end portion of the cylinder (7) and fixed on the inner wall of the casing by means of a fixing member (20) situated radially more inward than the stator. The main bearing is fixed on the closed casing, with the position of the main bearing adjusted by a master rotor. <IMAGE>
