  • Patent number: 7188828
    Abstract: A hydraulic bearing includes a supporting bearing, a bearing base, and an annular spring element of elastomeric material interconnecting the supporting base and the bearing base. A working chamber and a compensating chamber are bounded by the supporting bearing and bearing base and filled with damping fluid. A partition having an opening separates the working chamber from the compensating chamber. The opening connects the working chamber and the compensating chamber in a fluid-conducting manner. An annular stop is disposed in the working chamber and is movable relative to the supporting bearing in an axial direction. An inner peripheral edge of the annular stop is received in a receiving portion of the supporting bearing. A ratio of a thickness of the inner peripheral edge in the axial direction and a height of the receiving portion in the axial direction is 0.5 to 1.

  • Patent number: 6435488
    Abstract: A switchable, hydraulically damping bearing has a supporting bearing and a bearing member that are elastically supported upon one another by a bearing spring made of an elastomeric material. The bearing has a working chamber and a compensating chamber that are arranged consecutively in the direction of vibrations. The chambers are filled with damping fluid. The working chamber and the compensating chamber are delimited by a shared partition on the sides facing each other. The chambers are connected in a fluid-conducting manner by at least one damping conduit provided in the partition. The working chamber is delimited by at least one elastic diaphragm that delimits an air chamber on the side facing away from the working chamber. The air chamber is connected to the environment by a switchable intake valve or a non-return valve, depending on the operating state of a supported engine.

  • Patent number: 6352248
    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.

  • Patent number: 6015141
    Abstract: A hydraulically-damping sleeve-type rubber spring with an inner support element, which is surrounded by an outer support element at a radial distance. A spring element made of an elastomeric material is arranged in the gap formed by the radial distance. The outer support element and the spring element delimit at least one working chamber, which is connected with at least one first equalization chamber by at least one damping channel to conduct fluid. Viewed in cross-section, the first equalization chamber is delimited by the outer support element and a rubber-elastic expansion wall, where at least one second equalization chamber is arranged in the first equalization chamber, and the second equalization chamber is connected with the working chamber by a connecting channel.

  • Patent number: 5895032
    Abstract: A hydraulic bearing includes a supporting bearing and a bearing member braced against each other by an essentially truncated conical elastic spring element of an elastomeric material. The spring element bounds a working chamber and a compensating chamber filled with damping fluid, these chambers being separated from one another by a dividing wall and being in fluid communication with one another via a damping channel. The elastic spring element has two compression-spring sections radially opposite one another and two push-action-spring segments radially opposite one another and the compression-spring sections. The supporting bearing radially overlaps the elastic spring element in the compression-spring sections, and the elastic spring element and the supporting bearing are interconnected by a radial surface area.

  • Patent number: 5876022
    Abstract: A hydraulic bearing, having a working chamber filled with a damping fluid and a compensating chamber. The chambers are separated from one another by a dividing wall and are in fluid communication with one another via a damping channel, to damp low-frequency vibrations. The damping channel is formed by two subchannels which, in terms of technical function, are arranged in a series connection. The subchannels are arranged axially on both sides of a diaphragm that is capable of vibrating. The diaphragm forms a component of the dividing wall, and the diaphragm is provided with a channel separation and has at least one opening within the channel separation for fluid communication of the subchannels with one another.

  • Patent number: 5577716
    Abstract: A single-thrust bearing for a shock absorber with a columnar journal projecting in the damping direction and which is sealingly surrounded by a flexible, annular-shaped membrane, whereby the membrane is secured in its rim area, which projects radially to the outside, to a supporting bearing and separates two liquid-filled working chambers from each other. The working chambers are defined in the area of the extremities which mutually oppose each other by hollow-conical bearing springs made of a rubber elastic material. The bearing springs are supported in their base area on the supporting bearing and are braced against one another by means of the journal by way of their tips which are turned away from each other.

  • Patent number: 5551675
    Abstract: A hydraulically damping rubber sleeve spring containing two annular parts is disclosed. The parts are assembled axially, and each annular part has an inner support sleeve and an outer support sleeve surrounding the inner one with radial spacing, as well as a spring element made of an elastomeric material which connects the support sleeves. The annular parts are provided with at least two recesses, and are configured and assembled such that the recesses complement one another to form first and second fluid-filled working chambers. The chambers are sealed with respect to the environment and joined to one another, in a manner allowing fluid to pass, by at least one damping passage. The two spring elements of the annular parts are braceable against one another in such a way that the axial and radial spring stiffness can be adjusted separately from one another.
