A thrust plate for use in a scroll compressor is described. The thrust plate comprises a disk-shaped body defining a plane and having a first side and a second side, wherein the second side opposes the first side, at least one protrusion extending from the first side, and at least one recess located at the second side, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one recess overlap at least partially in a direction perpendicular to the plane. Further, a system is described, wherein the system comprises a thrust plate with at least one protrusion and an orbiting scroll plate with at least one recess, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one recess overlap. Also, a scroll compressor having either a corresponding thrust plate or a corresponding system is described.
