Guide device for the movable scroll of a scroll compressor

摘要

A device for guiding a movable scroll of a scroll compressor. The device includes a track that guides the movable scroll and supports the radial inertial forces to prevent excessive and potentially harmful contact forces between the fixed scroll and the movable scroll. Hence, the radial inertial forces are supported by the guide track so that the scrolls are not overloaded and there is no risk that the crankshaft will bend.
