Abstract
A motor spacer is disclosed which is well suited for use in securely fitting a motor stator of a first diameter within a housing of a greater diameter which thus avoids the need to provide more costly stepped type housings to accommodate both motor and driven apparatus. The motor spacer is particularly well suited for use in connection with hermetic motor compressors in those applications in which it is desired to utilize a shell diameter greater than that of the motor stator yet still support the motor by the outer shell. Because the motor spacer is somewhat flexible, it facilitates simultaneous assembly of the motor stator to the spacer and the spacer within the outer shell while also accommodating a wider range of tolerances between these components.
