INTEGRALLY FORMED COUNTERWEIGHT FOR ROTOR END RING

摘要

A hermetic compressor assembly is disclosed including a motor compressor disposed within a hermetically sealed housing, wherein the housing has an oil sump in the bottom thereof from which oil is drawn to lubricate the compressor mechanism. An electric drive motor includes a vertical rotor having a lower axial end ring with an integrally formed rotor counterweight, whereby turbulence and resulting agitation of the oil in the oil sump is prevented during rotation of the rotor.
