  • Patent number: 6644635
    Abstract: A hydraulically damping elastomeric bearing is suitable for mountings in a motor vehicle. The elastomeric bearing includes an elastic bearing part which is arranged between a sleeve-shaped outer part and an inner part coaxial thereto and which connects these elastically to one another. At least two chambers, which are filled with a liquid damping medium, communicate with one another via at least one throttle duct. Four chambers are provided, which are arranged in one plane, the four chambers each being arranged in one of four quadrants which are formed by two intersecting axes arranged in the plane, and at least two throttle ducts being provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6527261
    Abstract: A hydraulically damping elastomeric bearing, which is suitable for mountings in a motor vehicle, includes an elastic connecting body which is arranged between a first bearing component and a second bearing component and connects these elastically to one another. Two chambers which are filled with a liquid damping medium communicate with one another via at least one throttle duct. To generate a specific damping characteristic, at least two throttle ducts are provided, which connect the two chambers to one another, the first throttle duct containing an absorber which is adjusted as a function of pressure differences between the chambers in the first throttle duct, the absorber controlling the opening cross-section of the second throttle duct as a function of its adjusting movements.
