Abstract (en)

A piston (42) is integral with a housing (40, 43) of the compressor and a cylinder (24) is mounted within the housing (40, 43) by means of radially stiff, axially flexible resilient elements (19, 20). An electromagnetic linear motor (10, 11, 14) for effecting reciprocating movement of the cylinder (24) has a stationary element (11) secured to the housing (40, 43) and radially outer and inner portions of the resilient elements (19, 20) are secured directly to the stationary element (11) and the cylinder (24). Preferably the resilient elements lie in planes transverse to the axes of the piston (42) and cylinder (24), and cooperating portions of the piston (42) and cylinder (24) lie entirely within a zone between those planes. <IMAGE>
