Inhalation device compressor has a compression mechanism (10) driven by electric motor and a housing with a receiving device for a compression mechanism and a mounting element for retaining the compression mechanism in the receiving device. The mounting element (30) engages the compression mechanism at the surface of the compression mechanism. The mounting element has a number of damping projections (31) over its surface , which has nonlinear force-path characteristics such that the force-path ratio increases by a deflection of the compression mechanism. The mounting element encloses the compression mechanism along a partial periphery.
