  • Patent number: 11761510
    Abstract: A hydromount for mounting a motor vehicle unit is disclosed. The hydromount includes a supporting spring supporting a mount core and surrounding a working chamber, and a compensation chamber separated from the working chamber by a dividing wall and delimited by a compensation diaphragm. In embodiments, the compensation chamber and the working chamber are filled with a liquid and are connected by a damping duct incorporated into the dividing wall. In an embodiment, the dividing wall has two dividing plates between which a diaphragm is accommodated in a manner capable of oscillating. In an embodiment, the diaphragm and the dividing wall delimit an air chamber connected to the environment via an opening in the dividing wall, and the opening can be unblocked and closed by a switchable non-return device having a pressure-actuatable non-return valve with an opening pressure set to or having an oscillation amplitude of the diaphragm.

  • Patent number: 11339825
    Abstract: A bearing includes a first housing part and a second housing part. A housing gap is formed between the first housing part and the second housing part, and a bearing unit is arranged in the housing gap. In embodiments, a sealing system is provided that seals the housing gap. The sealing system may include at least one first sealing lip that is designed such that it can pivot. In embodiments, a first sealing lip is at a distance from the first housing part and/or the second housing part in the non-sealing state, and for sealing the housing gap, the first sealing lip may pivot and come into contact with the first housing part and/or the second housing part.
