Patent attributes
The compressor machine has two rotors rotating in opposite directions, which are fitted to two parallel, spaced apart shafts mounted in a housing. One of the shafts is driven directly and the other by intermeshing toothed gears mounted on the shafts. The housing has two radial walls which are configured in one piece with each other and with a peripheral wall and in which the shafts are mounted. The toothed gears are arranged between these radial walls. A side wall of the housing has an opening sealed by a removable cover. With the cover removed, the toothed gears can be fitted to the shafts through these openings. The bearing bores for the shafts can be produced and machined in the one-piece housing in a single set-up, so that, with a minimum number of parts, any causes of alignment errors are avoided.
