Abstract
A scroll fluid device includes meshing, involute scroll elements mounted for co-rotation in a support housing. One of the scroll elements is supported by a shaft extending through a bearing sleeve mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot center located transversely of the center line of the shaft. Radial compliance movement of the shaft and bearing sleeve is also enabled about the pivot center. This enables the scroll element to pivot slightly about three independent axes to follow the movement of the opposed cooperating scroll element while at the same time providing radial compliance enabling the scroll flanks to open slightly in the event of an over pressurization between the scroll wraps. The pivot center is provided by a circular ball pivot element located between the bearing sleeve and adjacent fixed support structure.
