Abstract: A switchable hydraulic bearing for mounting of a motor-vehicle assembly comprises a support bearing and a mount connected by a support spring, and a working chamber and an equalization chamber fillable with damping liquid that are spatially separated by a separating wall and connected by a damping channel in the separating wall. The separating wall may comprise a nozzle cage with two adjacent nozzle discs provided with an axial spacing. A diaphragm of rubber-elastic material may be provided in a gap between the nozzle discs. The diaphragm may be switchable by a switching device comprising an elastic lever disc axially adjacent to the second nozzle disc. An electromagnet may connect to the lever disc and can adjust the lever disc between a first position, permitting axial play of the diaphragm in the gap, and a second position, acting on the second nozzle disc and clamping the diaphragm between nozzle discs.
