  • Publication number: 20030047661
    Abstract: Anti-vibration assembly comprising an engine and a beam and an anti-vibration support for connecting the engine and the beam, damping vibration between the engine and the beam and supporting the weight of the engine in the vertical direction. The anti-vibration support comprises an inner armature and an outer armature which are connected respectively to the engine and to the beam. An elastomer body provides the connection between the inner armature and the outer armature. The outer armature forms a casing in which the inner armature (5) is force-fitted.
