A linear compressor is provided that includes a cylinder having a compression space for refrigerant therein, a piston that linearly reciprocates inside the cylinder in an axis direction to compress the refrigerant, and a frame having a mounting hole so that one end of the cylinder may be mounted thereon and a deformation prevention portion in some section around the mounting hole brought into contact with the one end of the cylinder. Even if a size of the cylinder is increased and a size of the frame limited, the frame is provided with enough strength to support the cylinder, thereby reducing fastening deformations and improving operation reliability.

Linear compressor

A linear compressor is provided. Unnecessary parts of a motor cover of the compressor are bent toward a rear cover in an axis direction to form supporting ends of the motor cover, and the supporting ends of the motor cover are welded directly to the rear cover, thereby considerably cutting down the material cost.
