  • Publication number: 20230304561
    Abstract: A switchable hydraulic bearing for mounting of a motor-vehicle assembly comprises a support bearing and a mount connected by a support spring, and a working chamber and an equalization chamber fillable with damping liquid that are spatially separated by a separating wall and connected by a damping channel in the separating wall. The separating wall may comprise a nozzle cage with two adjacent nozzle discs provided with an axial spacing. A diaphragm of rubber-elastic material may be provided in a gap between the nozzle discs. The diaphragm may be switchable by a switching device comprising an elastic lever disc axially adjacent to the second nozzle disc. An electromagnet may connect to the lever disc and can adjust the lever disc between a first position, permitting axial play of the diaphragm in the gap, and a second position, acting on the second nozzle disc and clamping the diaphragm between nozzle discs.

  • Patent number: 9212721
    Abstract: A hydromount comprising a carrying mount and a support mount connected to each other by an elastomeric suspension spring. The hydromount includes a working chamber and a compensation chamber that are filled with a fluid and separated by a partition, and connected to each other via a damping channel inserted into the partition. The hydromount includes an absorber channel that is switchable via an actuating device. The absorber channel is inactive in a first switching position of the actuating device and active in a second switching position of the actuating device. The actuating device has an electrically drivable electromagnet and an armature suspended via an elastic membrane so as to allow the armature to vibrate. The membrane is surrounded by a limiting member such that the membrane abuts against the limiting member in the first switching position and is spaced from the limiting member in the second switching position.

  • Patent number: 6345552
    Abstract: A speed-adaptive vibration damper for a shaft that rotates about an axis, having a hub part, on which are located a plurality of peripherally adjacent inertial masses that are movable along curved paths that increasingly approach the axis on either side of the masses. At least one relatively twistable inertial ring is elastically mounted on the hub part. When rotational vibrations set in, a change occurs in the distance of the inertial masses from the axis.
