  • Patent number: 6663091
    Abstract: A hydraulic hearing, including a supporting bearing (1) and a bearing member (2), which are supported against each other by an elastic spring element (3) made of rubber elastic material, and delimit a working chamber (4) and the compensating chamber (5); the working chamber (4) and a compensating chamber (5) each being filled with damping fluid (6) and being in fluid communication with each other; the bearing member (2) essentially being formed in the shape of a pot; the supporting bearing (1) and the elastic spring element (3) essentially being disposed in the interior space (7) defined by the pot-shaped bearing member (2); the bearing member (2) having a two-shell design on its peripheral side, and an outer ring (8) which encloses an inner ring (9) with a radial clearance; the compensating chamber (5) being disposed in the gap formed by the clearance, and being delimited by a boundary wall (11), which extends in the axial direction, can expand in a radial direction, and essentially accommodates an increase
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 16, 2003
    Assignee: Firma Carl Freudenberg
    Inventor: John Philip West
  • Publication number: 20020117788
    Abstract: A hydraulic bearing including a journal bearing (1) and a supporting bearing (2) which are connected to each other by a spring body (3) made of a rubber elastic material and border on at least one working space (4) and at least one compensating space (5), the working space (4) and the compensating space (5) being each filled with a damping fluid and communicating through a damping device (6) so as to conduct fluid. Damping fluid can flow through the damping device (6) when the journal bearing (1) and supporting bearing (2) are radially displaced relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 6276671
    Abstract: A bush-type hydraulically damped mounting device has two telescoped anchor parts. Resilient walls, spaced apart axially, extend between the anchor parts. Deformable walls, spaced apart circumferentially, extend axially between the resilient walls, to define first and second chambers for hydraulic fluid. The deformable walls make abutting unbonded contact with one or other of the anchor parts.
