Patent ID: 11211858

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a linear motor and a compressor which are effective against a non-fixed structure in which end portions of a resonant spring are not fixed and are capable of restraining loads in an up-down direction and a left-right direction which act on a slider. A linear motor includes a slider (2) which is driven in a first direction, a resonance spring (400) which is capable of vibrating in the first direction, and a permanent magnet (210) which is provided at the slider (2) and is magnetized in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The linear motor includes a bearing (480) that is movable against both forces of a force in the second direction and a force in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, and an elastic-body support member (450) which connects the resonant spring (400) and the bearing (480) to each other.
