Abstract: Hydraulic damper bearing for the attenuation of movement. In one embodiment the hydraulic damper bearing has a first anchoring unit and a second anchoring unit, the second anchoring unit moveable in relation to the first anchoring unit. The hydraulic damper bearing also has a spring component working between the first and the second anchoring units, an operating chamber filled with damping fluid and an equalizing chamber separate from the operating chamber and in fluid communication with the operating chamber via a damping duct which is bordered by a duct wall. The volume of the operating chamber is changed during the relative motion of the first and second anchoring support units. During this relative movement, the damping fluid is moved in the damping duct between the equalizing chamber and the operating chamber. A displacing element is arranged on the first anchoring unit and extends into the operating chamber.

In response to raising the cab into the service position, the first and the second mounting parts are separated from each other, and, in response to lowering the cab into the driving position, the first and second mounting parts are reconnected.

Abstract: A hydraulically damped bearing having a first anchoring member (2) and a second anchoring member (3) that are arranged in a movable fashion to one another, having a spring element (6) operating between the first and second anchoring members (2, 3), and having an operating chamber (10) filled with a damping fluid and a compensation chamber (11) separate from the operating chamber (10) and connected to it via a channel (14) that is defined by the channel walls and that allows the fluid to pass through. The volume of the operating chamber (10) changes due to the relative movement of the first and second anchoring members (2, 3), such that the damping fluid is moved in the channel (14) between the compensation chamber (11) and the operating chamber (10). The operating chamber (10) and the compensation chamber (11) are separated by a separating wall (12) that is impacted on both sides by the damping fluid.

Abstract: A hydraulically damped multi-chamber hydraulic bushing is disclosed, which is capable of being loaded perpendicular to its axis. The bushing comprises two supporting sleeves which surround one another and are braced against each other by way of at least one spring element of an elastic material.

The webs are resiliently compressed to less than their nominal size between the two retaining supporting sleeves.

The connecting passageways include a damping passageway (6) which is arbitrarily closable by a valve (7). The damping passageway (6) forms a duct and which is so dimensioned that the enclosed liquid mass enters into a relative vibrating movement in phase with the piston engine, when the piston engine operates at idle speed, with an amplitude which is greater than the amplitude of the movements of the engine, multiplied by the ratio of the displacement cross section of the inflatable boundary walls (3) and the cross sectional area of the damping passageway (6).
