Abstract

See full text

A linear drive motor of a cryogenic refrigerator, where a reciprocating armature is coupled to a piston which alternately compresses and expands a gaseous fluid in a thermodynamic cycle. The piston has a clearance seal and is attached at one end to a flexible coupling to reduce cross-bearing loads exerted by the piston along the clearance seal. A displacer assembly of the cryogenic refrigerator employs a displacer piston that reciprocates along a clearance seal. The displacer piston is coupled to the displacer cylinder and/or the armature of a displacer drive motor by a flexible coupling that reduces radial forces exerted by the displacer piston on the clearance seal.
