  • Patent number: 6029960
    Abstract: An hydraulically damping elastic bearing having an inner part or tube and an outer tube located concentrically or eccentrically in relation to the inner tube. The outer tube is located at some distance from the inner tubes The hydraulically damping elastic bearing also has a rubber part inserted between the inner tube and outer tube. In the rubber part there is at least one chamber which is filled with damping fluid. Outside the chamber there is at least one elastic stop body which extends radially between the inner part and the outer tube and is directly or indirectly connected to the outer tube.

  • Patent number: 5228663
    Abstract: Elastomeric bearing, consisting of an outer cover, at least one rigid intermediate body and a support body, whereby a suspension element is always located between two neighboring bodies. The suspension elements have different suspension characteristics in the radial and axial direction as well as different damping characteristics and can be adjusted using a controllable switch apparatus. It should be possible to precisely control an individual suspension element to produce different suspension and damping characteristics.

  • Patent number: 4741521
    Abstract: Axially and radially-loadable bearing which damps in an axial direction for elastic mounting of machines, machine parts, and/or vehicle parts. This bearing has an outer part and two elastomeric or rubber springs located between an inner, often rotating, part and an outer part, which form a cavity area which is preferably filled with damping fluid and in which there is a partition separating the cavity into two chambers. The partition comprises a rigid sliding part guided on the inner part and a rigid fastening part connected in a fixed manner to the outer part. The two rigid parts are connected to one another by means of an elastomeric or rubber thrust washer. Preferably, there is a throttle in at least one of the rigid parts.
