  • Patent number: 11214112
    Abstract: A stabilizer adhesive bearing for a vehicle stabilizer may comprise an annular sleeve having a resilient inner contour for coaxial arrangement on the vehicle stabilizer. The resilient inner contour of the annular sleeve may comprise on a side facing the vehicle stabilizer a three-dimensionally structured surface with an adhesive receiving volume. The three-dimensionally structured surface has a maximum roughness depth (Rmax) greater than 45 ?m and a core roughness depth (RK) of at least 65% relative to the maximum roughness depth (Rmax) of the three-dimensionally structured surface. The maximum roughness depth (Rmax) is a total of the reduced tip height (Rpk), the core roughness depth (RK), and the reduced groove depth (Rvk). Further, the reduced tip height (Rpk), the reduced groove depth (Rvk), and the core roughness depth (RK) may be determined in accordance with EN ISO 13565-2: December 1997.

  • Publication number: 20100198457
    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.
