Abstract
A pump arrangement is provided for a breast pump system having a pump motor assembly and a damping arrangement, providing a coupling between an outer surface of the pump motor assembly and an inner surface of a housing for the pump arrangement. A set of one or more limbs extends outwardly from a frame. For example, cushions are formed by a pair of radially extending limbs and a connecting piece connecting to the pair of limbs. This arrangement provides positioning within the housing as well as damping.
