A compressor includes a shell, a non-orbiting scroll disposed within the shell, an orbiting scroll disposed within the shell and meshed with the non-orbiting scroll, a driveshaft operable to drive the orbiting scroll relative to the non-orbiting scroll, and a ring-shaped counterweight assembly positioned on the driveshaft. The counterweight assembly has two radial surfaces and a circumferential edge between the two radial surfaces, and the counterweight assembly includes a counterweight fixed on the driveshaft and a cover attached to one of the counterweight and the driveshaft via a snap fit connection. The counterweight and the cover cooperate to define the counterweight assembly.

A compressor includes a shell, a compression mechanism, a driveshaft operable to drive the compression mechanism to compress a fluid, and a ring-shaped counterweight assembly positioned on the driveshaft. The counterweight assembly includes a counterweight fixed on the driveshaft and a cover attached to the driveshaft via a snap fit connection. The counterweight includes a coupling ring and a main weight having an arcuate shape, the coupling ring defining a bore receiving the driveshaft to fix the counterweight on the driveshaft. The counterweight and the cover cooperate to define the counterweight assembly, the cover extending circumferentially between two cover end surfaces each positioned adjacent one of two circumferential main weight end surfaces to define a disk-shape of the counterweight assembly. The cover includes a coupling collar including a circular base and flexible fingers engageable with a circumferential groove defined on the driveshaft to form the snap fit connection.
