a constrained rotary vane compressor having a rotor - vane assembly within a stator often exhibits unwanted noise and vibration effects . the present invention offers a design and method to decrease noise and vibration effects of such compressors by the incorporation of an oil skive formed in the interior wall of the stator . the oil skive rids the vane tips of any excess liquid which may have collected on the rotating vanes , which otherwise may impact certain interior regions of the stator resulting in unwanted noise and vibration of the compressor .
