ORBITING SCROLL DEVICE LUBRICATION

A scroll device includes a fixed scroll with an idler shaft bearing, an orbiting scroll with another idler shaft bearing; and an eccentric idler shaft having first and second arms extending in opposite directions and ending at first and second ends, the first and second arms supported by the fixed scroll idler shaft bearing and the orbiting scroll idler shaft bearing, respectively. The eccentric idler shaft has a hollow core extending from the first end to the second end, with at least one channel extending through the first arm and enabling fluid communication between the hollow core and the at least one first bearing, and at least one second channel extending through the second arm and enabling fluid communication between the hollow core and the least one second bearing.
