ABSTRACT:
In a compressor of the hermetic, scroll-type, a motor engaging drive shaft having a net axial thrust load determined by the pressure of compressed fluid acting upon the opposing ends of the shaft. In the preferred embodiment, the shaft includes a first end in the discharge pressure portion providing a first plan view area and a second end in the suction pressure portion having a circular, eccentrically disposed cavity with a second plan view area. The shaft has an axial bore for communicating refrigerant at discharge pressure through the shaft between the respective ends such that refrigerant at discharge pressure acts in opposite directions upon both of the respective plan view areas to balance the net thrust load of the shaft.
