SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A LINEAR COMPRESSOR

摘要

The suspension system is applied in a compressor, presenting: a shell (1) in which interior is horizontally suspended a motor-compressor assembly (10) having opposite ends (10a, 10b) that are spaced from the shell (1) by an axial spacing (AA). Mounting elements (20) are each axially attached to an end (10a, 10b) of the motor-compressor assembly (10) and suspension springs (30) are mounted to the shell (1) and to each respective mounting element (20). The suspension system comprises stop elements (40) attached to the shell (1) and having a free end portion (42) disposed between a respective end (10a, 10b) of the motor-compressor assembly (10) and the adjacent suspension spring (30). A first distance (d) defined between the stop element (40) and the adjacent end (10a, 10b) of the motor-compressor assembly (10) is smaller than the axial spacing (AA) and smaller than a second distance (D) defined between the stop element (40) and an adjacent suspension spring (30).
