  • Patent number: 11279193
    Abstract: A mounting system for the elastic mounting of a strut or a vibration damper on a vehicle body includes a unit insertable into a receiving cup and a fixing device. The unit includes a mounting unit and a piston rod of a strut or vibration damper. In embodiments, the mounting unit has an elastomer mount for mounting the piston rod; the elastomer mount has a core for receiving the piston rod and an elastomer body, and a ring element that is a separate part or is non-positively, positively and/or materially connected to the body; the unit and fixing device may be inserted into the receiving cup from a side facing away from the body; the fixing device engages behind an undercut formed on the receiving cup; the ring element is supported on the fixing device; and/or the elastomer body is prestressed and presses the ring element against the fixing device.

  • Publication number: 20200124088
    Abstract: A bearing bush includes a core, an intermediate sleeve surrounding the core in a manner extending in a circumferential direction, an outer sleeve surrounding the intermediate sleeve in a manner extending in the circumferential direction, an elastomer body disposed between the intermediate sleeve and the outer sleeve, and a stop device. In embodiments, at axial ends of the core, the stop device protrudes from the core in a radial direction and limits a movement of the intermediate sleeve in an axial direction. The intermediate sleeve is mounted on the core and, relative to the stop device, in a circumferentially rotatable manner. The outer sleeve has several projections. The intermediate sleeve has at least one counter-projection which overlaps in the radial direction with the projections for limiting the axial deflection of the outer sleeve relative to the core.
