In a screw compressor for a refrigerator, suction-side rotor shafts of
screw rotors are supported rotatably by angular ball bearings for forward
thrust load, an annular gap is formed between the angular ball bearings
and a suction-side bearing casing, and outermost end faces of outer rings
of the angular ball bearings are pressed through a spring member by means
of a presser member fixed to an end face of the suction-side bearing
casing, whereby the angular ball bearings are held movably in the thrust
direction within the suction-side bearing casing. Discharge-side rotor
shafts of the screw rotors are supported rotatably by angular ball
bearings for forward thrust load and an angular ball bearing for reverse
thrust load which are held at predetermined certain positions within a
discharge-side bearing casing. A screw compressor which permits
structural simplification, reduction of size, and lightening of a
maintenance burden is provided.
