Abstract
A compressor assembly includes a shaft and a compressor wheel that is supported on the shaft. The compressor assembly also includes an electric motor with a stator and a rotor. The electric motor is configured to rotate the shaft and the compressor wheel. The compressor assembly additionally includes a housing assembly configured to house the stator, the rotor, and at least part of the shaft. The housing assembly includes a first member and a second member. Moreover, the compressor assembly includes a dampener disposed between the first member and the second member of the housing assembly. The dampener is configured to elastically deform to provide dampening of a force transferred between the first member and the second member of the housing assembly.
