DAMPING DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR A VENTILATOR

In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a vibration damping device configured to decouple vibration of an electric motor for a ventilator, comprising: a base plate (140); a bearing unit (150) for supporting the electric motor, a plurality of decoupling elements (120), which are releasably coupled via retaining elements (151) to the bearing unit (150) and positionable between the bearing unit (150) and the base plate (140): wherein: the base plate (140) comprises mounting structures (141) for the decoupling elements (120) and fixing means (110) with a head (111): and each decoupling element (120) comprises adjacent to a recess at least one clamping section (121) for the corresponding fixing means (110) on the base plate (140); further wherein each of the fixing means (110) is configured to establish a force-fit and/or form-fit connection with the corresponding mounting structure (141) and the at least one clamping section (121) of the decoupling element (120) is pressed between a portion of the head (112) and the mounting structure (141) for a backlash free mounting of the decoupling element (120) to the base plate (140) in its mounted state. Due to the backlash-free mounting, the damping element cannot be loosened in the mounted state.
