Abstract: Various embodiments provide a bush for isolating vibrations, the bush comprising: a first anchor part defining a longitudinal axis; a second anchor part disposed coaxially with respect to the first anchor part; a first resilient body operably engaged with the first anchor part; a second resilient body operably engaged with the second anchor part; and an inertial mass element disposed between the first anchor part and the second anchor part. The inertial mass element is independently connected to the first resilient body and the second resilient body. Also, the first resilient body, second resilient body and inertial mass element are arranged to isolate vibrations between the first anchor part and the second anchor part within a predetermined operational frequency range.

Abstract: A system for a vehicle may include a vehicle chassis, an electric motor, and a torque strut. The electric motor may include a rotor and may be operable in a first mode to rotate the rotor in a first direction to propel the vehicle about a rotational axis and in a second mode in which the rotor is rotated in a second direction about the rotational axis. The torque strut may include first, second and third mounting structures. The first mounting structure may be coupled to the vehicle chassis. The second and third mounting structures may be spaced apart from each other and may be coupled to the electric motor to prevent relative rotation between the torque strut and the electric motor.

Abstract: A track bar for a rear suspension of a vehicle has a first tubular member, an energy dissipating member wrapped around the first tubular member, and a second tubular member encompassing the energy dissipating member. Together, the tubular members and energy dissipating member dampen vibration transmitted through the track bar to lessen the audible vibrations that rear the interior of a vehicle cabin.

Abstract: A powertrain mounting system includes a pair of engine and transmission mount assemblies. The engine mount assemblies include an isolator assembly having an elastomeric bushing with an encapsulated mounting member, an integral snubber, and a bracket assembly having a one piece can arranged to house the bushing and having an interlock arranged to engage the bushing. The bushing is press-fit into the can and arranged to isolate the mounting member from the can thereby dampening powertrain vibration and controlling powertrain movement, and the snubber is arranged to limit movement of the bushing relative to the can. The transmission mount assembly includes a support member, a pair of isolators positioned relative to each other, and a pair of mounting brackets positioned on the isolators; wherein the isolators are arranged to maintain the mounting brackets in spaced relation to the support member thereby dampening powertrain vibration and controlling powertrain movement.

Abstract: A noise isolation system for damping a mounting structure that couples a powertrain of a motor vehicle to a frame of the motor vehicle includes an isolator having a first surface and a second surface. The isolator is coupled to the mounting structure such that the first surface is adjacent to the mounting structure. The noise isolation system further includes a washier coupled to the mounting structure. The washer is coupled to the mounting structure such that the washer is between the second surface of the isolator and the frame.
