A scroll compressor, includes: a scroll compression mechanism including an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll, and a thrust plate supporting a load of the orbiting scroll in a thrust direction; a back-pressure application mechanism that applies, as back pressure, the refrigerant gas compressed by the scroll compression mechanism to a rear surface of the thrust plate; and a floating amount restriction mechanism that restricts an amount of floating of the thrust plate caused by the back pressure. The floating amount restriction mechanism includes a restriction pin that includes a shaft part and a head part, and locks the thrust plate to the head part to restrict the amount of floating. The shaft part passes through the thrust plate and has a front end part fixed to a front housing, and the head part has a diameter larger than a diameter of the shaft part.

A co-rotating scroll is disclosed having a motor having a shaft, a drive scroll connected to the shaft for moving the drive scroll, a driven scroll connected to the drive scroll to be moved by the drive scroll, and an idler shaft for aligning the drive scroll and the driven scroll and for allowing the driven scroll to be moved by the drive scroll.

Provided is an electric compressor comprising: a housing; a fixed scroll that is housed in the housing and fixed on the housing side; a turning scroll that meshes with the fixed scroll and turns with respect to the fixed scroll; an autorotation inhibiting mechanism that inhibits autorotation of the turning scroll; and a lubricant supply unit that supplies a lubricant to the autorotation inhibiting mechanism. The autorotation inhibiting mechanism has: a ring hole which is formed in the turning scroll; a ring which is disposed in the ring hole, and the outer circumferential surface of which faces the inner circumferential surface of the ring hole; and a pin which is provided to the housing and which engages with the inner circumferential surface of the ring. A gap formed between the inner circumferential surface of the ring hole and the outer circumferential surface of the ring is 0.1-0.6 mm.
