Abstract
A linear compressor may include a driving coil, a mover, a piston, and a coupling. The mover may be positioned adjacent the driving coil. The driving coil may be operable to reciprocate the mover relative to the driving coil. The piston may have a piston head and a cylindrical side wall. The inner surface of the cylindrical side wall may define a ball seat. The coupling may extend between the mover and the piston. The coupling may include a flex mount and a ball nose.
