The rotating screw is part of the family of positive volume compressors. Positive volume compressors create the flow by expanding the chamber on suction as well as an enlarging cavity at the outlet side. The gas that is trapped inside the displacement engine is an unchangeable volume that is then compressed or pumped into an exhaust manifold.

The two most popular compressors of today comprise the Rotary screw (spiral rotor) and the piston. 

A screw compressor was first created in the mid-1950s and later developed to operate with the reciprocating piston as well as centrifugal engines used in industrial, commercial, and gas applications.

The screw compressor is made up of two spiral rotors intermeshing that is placed inside an enclosure. Distance between the housing and the rotor as well as between the housing and the rotor ranges from 0.003" or 0.005". The drive or plug-in rotates by connecting the shaft using either an electric or a motor.

In oil-injected engines, the female rotor is controlled via the male one by thin layers of oil. Dry screw compressors utilize an array of synchronizer gears to get exact rotation.

If power is applied to the male's rotor it starts to break out of the mesh of the female rotor, leaving an opening that allows gas to flow by the outlet. When the rotor is moving through the inlet it continues to grow until the gas fills the gap.
