A motor-compressor unit comprising a shell, a compressor, and a motor. The compressor includes a yoke and a slide block to transmit motion from a compressor crankshaft to a plurality of compressor pistons. The yoke includes left and right longitudinally extending side wall portions, and upper and lower front and rear connecting portions secured to and transversely extending between the left and right side wall portions. The upper and lower front connecting portions define a front transverse opening, and the upper and lower rear connecting portions define a rear transverse opening. The slide block is supported by the yoke for longitudinal sliding movement through the front and rear transverse openings.

Motor-compressor unit

A suspension and seal system for a motor compressor unit mounted within a hermetically sealed shell. The shell defines at least one chamber filled with refrigerant suction gas and a second chamber filled with refrigerant discharge gas. The compressor's cylinder block includes a radially extending wall member. A second wall member is spaced from the first wall member for defining a space for receiving a combination seal and suspension member. Resilient members are provided at predetermined locations about the motor compressor unit and are squeezed between opposed surfaces of the unit and the shell for dampening motion of the unit within the shell.
