The mounting of the mount (1) on the sectional bar is carried out using the opening gap (5) by pressing the sectional bar through this opening gap into the mount (1), i.e., the mount (1) is clamped on the sectional bar.

Abstract: An elastic rubber bearing is provided with an intermediate tube, namely, a bush bearing with a reinforcing insert arranged in the elastomeric bearing body.

The object is to provide a rubber bearing in which comparatively great differences in characteristics can be achieved in different directions and whose design is simplified compared with the prior-art bearings with different characteristics.

Abstract: A rubber-mounted ball-and-socket joint with stress-optimized bearing geometry is provided. The bearing geometry of a ball-and-socket joint mounted in a rubber-metal bearing is changed such that a sufficiently great pivot angle is guaranteed for the pivot pin and the surface of the elastomer is enlarged at the same time to prolong its life. The bearing is extended beyond the radius of the joint ball on its side located opposite the pivot pin projecting from the bearing. The fulcrum point of the bearing and the fulcrum point of the pivot pin mounted in the inner part having an offset in relation to one another in the axial direction, wherein the inner and outer parts of the bearing are conically expanded. The rubber-mounted ball-and-socket joint may have, on at least one side, at least one insert with a Shore hardness lower than that of the elastomer. The insert may be inserted into the elastomer.

Abstract: An upper MacPherson strut step bearing for wheel suspensions in a motor vehicle. The MacPherson strut step bearing includes a metallic housing that is pot-shaped in the vertical section, a rubber buffer arranged in the housing, and a support piece, which can be connected to a shock absorber and protrudes with radially extending projections into the rubber buffer that is rigidly connected to it. A radially directed housing flange forms an abutment for an annular spring buffer made of an elastomeric material, against which the top end of a coil spring of the MacPherson strut, which coil spring surrounds the shock absorber, is supported. Recesses, which influence the axial damping characteristic of the MacPherson strut step bearing, are provided in the spring buffer. The metallic housing is connected to a cover plate, which passes over at the outer wall into a jacket ring, which is directed downward and projects beyond the spring buffer.
