Abstract: An elastomeric mounting comprising a pair of rigid members (2, 3), an annular element (4) of elastomeric material sandwiched between confronting surfaces (6,7) of said members and a pillar (5) which extends centrally through the annular elastomeric element (4) into association with each of said rigid members, said pillar (5) being non-rigidly associated with at least one (2) of the rigid members whereby it is operative to prevent unlimited free separation of the rigid members (2,3) but allows the rigid members to move one towards the other to compress the elastomeric element (4) therebetween when the mounting is subject to applied compression load.
