Abstract: A switchable hydraulic mount includes a first fluid chamber delimited by a spring body, a second fluid chamber fluidically connected to the first fluid chamber, a decoupling element for decoupling the chambers, and arranged between the first fluid chamber and a decoupling chamber, the chambers being fluidically separated from one another, and a switchable valve to selectively open or close the decoupling chamber with respect to the environment, the switchable valve including a valve housing with a linear actuator including an actuator head displaceable in the valve housing between closed and open positions, the valve housing including at least one valve opening which, in the open position, connects the decoupling chamber to the environment and which, in the closed position, is closed by the actuator head, and the valve opening including at least a component of extension transverse with respect to the movement axis of the actuator head.

Abstract: A system for mounting an assembly, such as a motor vehicle engine, on a supporting structure such as a vehicle body. Disposed between the assembly and the supporting structure is a soft mount and/or a soft rubber spring featuring a damping and/or spring excursion along which the soft mount damps and/or adapts the load acting on the assembly. Also, disposed between the supporting structure and the assembly is an actuator which communicates an adaptive reaction force. A displacement of the assembly caused by the load along the damping or spring excursion of the soft mount or of the rubber spring can be cancelled out by a counter motion of the assembly prompted by the actuator.

Abstract: In an elastic insertion bearing for supporting a component extending substantially axially, such as a damper rod for a strut tower on a vehicle body and for fitting in a vehicle body-side mount, comprising a rigid core to which the component can be secured, and an elastomeric body radially surrounding the core, it is provided for that at least two of the outer shell sections radially surrounding the elastomeric body are provided circumferentially spaced away from each other in the unfitted condition and which on being fitted can move each radially on the other such that the circumferential spacing is reduced in precompression of the elastomeric body.

Abstract: In an elastic insertion bearing for supporting a component extending substantially axially, such as a damper rod for a strut tower on a vehicle body and for fitting in a vehicle body-side mount (3), comprising a rigid core to which the component can be secured, and an elastomeric body (17, 117) radially surrounding the core, it is provided for that at least two of the outer shell sections (19, 21, 119, 121) radially surrounding the elastomeric body (17, 117) are provided circumferentially spaced away from each other in the unfitted condition and which on being fitted can move each radially on the other such that the circumferential spacing is reduced in precompression of the elastomeric body (17, 117).
