  • Publication number: 20020105118
    Abstract: Self-pumping hydropneumatic suspension strut with internal ride-height control, particularly for motor vehicles, with an outer tube with an oil-filled high-pressure work space in the work cylinder under the pressure of at least one gas cushion acting as spring in a high-pressure chamber, a second work space on the piston rod side, and an axially displaceable piston which is supported by a hollow piston rod and is sealed in the work cylinder. The piston rod which is driven by the springing movement of the vehicle conveys oil from a low-pressure chamber to the work space connected to the high-pressure chamber and comprises a pump rod and a pump cylinder formed by the hollow piston rod.

  • Patent number: 6375172
    Abstract: A hydraulically-damping engine bearing includes a restrictedly deflectable diaphragm separating first and second fluid-filled primary chambers that are bordered at least partially by elastic walls. At least one channel is connected between the first and second primary chambers. An arrangement is connected for adjusting a characteristic of the bearing. The arrangement includes an auxiliary suspension spring that, with the wall of one of the chambers, forms an auxiliary chamber, whereby one of the primary chambers is connectable to the auxiliary chamber via a controllable flow connection.

  • Publication number: 20020038927
    Abstract: Rubber bearing for hydraulically damping axial vibrations with a cylindrical inner part and a concentric outer part a certain distance away, where an elastic element is provided between the inner part and the outer part, and where two damping fluid-filled chambers are located in the elastic element, these chambers being connected to each other by a damping channel. A pump chamber is located at one end of the elastic element, and an equalizing chamber, which accepts the damping fluid arriving through the damping channel without the buildup of pressure, is located at the other end.

  • Patent number: 6241225
    Abstract: A rubber bearing, especially for the bearing support of a stabilizer bar in a motor vehicle, comprises two rubber half-shells. A thin rubber connecting piece connects the longitudinal side of one of the half-shells with the longitudinal side of the other one of the half-shells. The rubber connecting piece is arranged at the radial outer region of the half-shells to enable 180° of rotation of one of the half-shells with respect to the other one of the half-shells about the area of connection.

  • Patent number: 6220584
    Abstract: A hydraulically damping engine bearing having fluid-filled chambers bordered at least partially by elastic walls, a limitedly deflectable diaphragm separating the chambers, and at least one channel connecting the chambers. A bearing spring rate characteristic is adjustable by an arrangement that includes an additional suspension spring arranged outside of one of the chambers. An intermediate space is bordered by the suspension spring together with an outer wall of one of the chambers. A valve, in communication with the intermediate space, enables the space to be aerated and de-aerated.

  • Patent number: 6109400
    Abstract: An impact absorber for decelerating a vehicle during a collision with an obstacle by hydraulic damping forces and pneumatic spring forces includes two tubes that are telescopically displaceable one inside the other. An internal tube of the two tubes is closed off to the outside by a base. A gas space subjected to high pressure is disposed adjacent said base and interacts with a first liquid space via a separating piston which is axially guided in the internal tube in a sealed manner. The first liquid space is hydraulically connected to a second liquid space via a throttle opening through an intermediate wall attached inside the internal tube. A working piston attached to a piston rod is guided in the internal tube in a sealing manner and interacts via the piston rod with a third liquid space in an external one of the two tubes. A control which can be connected to two chambers is provided to extend the impact absorber or to return it to a normal position.

  • Patent number: 6027105
    Abstract: An impact damper includes two tubes which are slidable one in the other for braking a vehicle impact against an obstacle by hydraulic damping forces and pneumatic spring forces. The inner tube is closed off by a bottom. A gas chamber containing a high pressure gas cushion is arranged adjacent to the bottom and bounded by a separating piston that is guided sealingly and displaceably in the inner tube. A first fluid chamber is arranged between the separating piston and a partition fixed in the inner tube and provided with choke openings. A second fluid chamber is formed by the outer tube and connected to the first fluid chamber via the partition. The outer tube has a tapering region directed away from the partition, and a deformation element dividing the second fluid chamber into two part chambers.

  • Patent number: 6019356
    Abstract: An impact absorber for decelerating a vehicle impacting on an obstacle, which impact absorber includes two tubes which can be displaced one inside the other in the manner of a telescope. The inner tube is closed off from the outside by a base and has a highly pressurized gas space and a first fluid space. A second fluid space is arranged in the outer tube and is hydraulically connected to the first fluid space via a restriction formed by a restricting aperture in an intermediate wall fixed in the inner tube. The outer tube has, in the end region, a plastic disk which melts at a predetermined temperature and as a result counteracts an explosion of the impact absorber in the event of a fire by reducing the pressure.

  • Patent number: 6007060
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulically damping elastomer bearing having an outer bearing sleeve, an inner bearing sleeve, and an elastomer body arranged between the inner and outer bearing sleeves. At least one chamber filled with liquid is arranged between the bearing sleeves. A substantially inelastic stop body is arranged in at least one of the chambers and, in the unloaded state of the elastomer bearing, has a predetermined distance to a reference surface. The stop body projects into a cavity of the inner bearing sleeve, and a flow connection runs from the cavity into one of the chambers.

  • Patent number: 6007059
    Abstract: A hydraulic damping bearing comprises an inner part, an outer part arranged at a distance from the inner part, and an elastic element inserted therebetween. At least one chamber filled with a damping medium is arranged between the elastic element and the outer part. The outer part includes at least one bore hole in one of the end regions. The elastic element in this region has a recess communicating with the chamber which is alignable with the bore hole when the elastic element is not fully inserted in the outer part.
