Systems and methods of the invention may overcome a higher than normal starting torque for in a reciprocating, electric motor driven air compressor for a vehicle. A detection component can be configured to detect a stall condition for a reciprocating compressor based on a force from compressed air being compressed into a reservoir of the reciprocating compressor. Based upon the detected stall condition, a controller can reverse direction or increase torque to alleviate the stall condition. In the reverse direction mode, the controller component can change a direction of a piston rotation. In the torque increase mode, the controller increases a number of poles for the motor, a line voltage, or a volt / hertz.

A non-reciprocating motor adapted for driving a reciprocating load is assembled by selecting a housing, a first bearing, a second bearing, and a rotor assembly having a shaft, all having corresponding predetermined coefficients of thermal expansion. The first and second bearings are positioned in the housing. The rotor assembly is rotatably mounted in the housing with the shaft received in the first and second bearings, such that the rotor is in a first position in which it has a predetermined amount of axial and radial play relative to the housing. A biasing element is installed and forces the rotor assembly to a second position in which play is eliminated. Each race is then permanently secured such that the rotor assembly is retained in the second position over a temperature range of about minus 40 degrees to about 105 degrees Celsius.
