A support member for a compressor having a shell may include a hub receiving a load from the compressor, at least three spokes radially extending from the hub, and at least three attachment locations attaching the at least three spokes to the shell. The support member may further include at least one connecting portion extending between at least two of the at least three spokes to transmit a load between the at least two spokes, whereby the at least one connecting portion is spaced apart and separated from the shell.

Support member for optimizing dynamic load distribution and attenuating vibration

A compressor includes a shell, a compression mechanism, a motor, a base member, and a mounting foot. The compression mechanism is disposed within the shell and the motor is drivingly engaged with the compression mechanism. The base member is coupled to the shell and a mounting foot is fixed to the base member. The mounting foot includes a mounting aperture extending therethrough and a slot intersecting the aperture that attenuates vibrations within an operating frequency range of the compressor.
