PCT No. PCT/GB94/01193 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 29, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 29, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 2, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/28306 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 8, 1994An electromagnetic linear compressor has a linearly reciprocating piston (10) biased in one direction by a helical coil spring system. A rotational bearing (40) supports one end of the spring system (20a, 20b). To avoid uneven wear due to forces applied by the spring system, the spring system comprises two helical coil springs (20a, 20b) acting in series to bias the piston (10), and the rotation bearing (40) transmits thrust between the two springs while permitting relative rotation of the two springs about their common axis. The compressor also has a turbine (30) for exerting a unidirectional rotational force to rotate the piston (10) about its axis gradually during operation of the compressor.
