Patent number: 6921067Abstract: A hydraulically damping mount contains a working chamber and a compensation chamber that are filled with a hydraulically damping liquid and are separated by an intermediate plate. The working chamber and the compensation chamber are interconnected by an overflow channel and a bypass channel that can be opened and closed by an actuator that can be electromagnetically actuated in the axial direction. Accordingly, the actuator is embodied as a sliding sleeve in the form of a hollow cylinder defining the bypass channel, and contains a radially protruding armature on its outer side. The armature is received in the compensation chamber. The armature co-operates with an electromagnetic coil received in the intermediate plate, and with a baffle plate for opening or closing the bypass channel. In this way, small regulating forces and a compact structure are produced.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Trelleborg Automotive Technical Centre GmbHInventors: Jürgen Gries, Arndt Graeve

Patent number: 6764066Abstract: An hydraulic damping mount has an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve for securing thereto a piston of a spring strut (activatable in at least one direction), an elastomeric body and two chambers. The two chambers are interconnected via a gap. The inner sleeve comprises a radially projecting boss separating the two chambers from each other. The connection between the two chambers is configured in accordance with the invention as a gap between the boss and the outer sleeve so that when activated, the fluid flow through the gap is in the direction opposite to the movement of the boss, resulting in a reduction in the stiffness. This simplifies assembly whilst enhancing the stiffness response of the mount. The invention relates furthermore to a mount for supporting a spring strut in making use of such a mount.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2003Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: Trelleborg Automotive Technical Centre GmbHInventor: Arndt Graeve

Patent number: 6644633Abstract: A hydraulic damping bush, more particularly in automotive applications, damps loads in a main loading direction. The bush includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve, a resilient mounting assembly disposed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve, as well as at least one end cap connecting the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve. The at least one end cap caps the space enclosed by the inner sleeve and outer sleeve from the environment. Two chambers are provided charged with a hydraulic damping fluid and interconnected via a transfer duct. The main loading direction is oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the inner sleeve and outer sleeve. The end caps can be formed separate from the resilient mounting assembly. Each of the chambers is defined by the resilient mounting assembly or a component adjoining the latter or by one of the end caps. This permits optimum material compatibility for facilitated production and assembly as well as a modular configuration of the bush.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Trelleborg Automotive Technical Centre GmbHInventor: Arndt Graeve
