Publication number: 20100198457Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2006Publication date: August 5, 2010Applicant: WOCO AVS GmbHInventors: Waldemar Hermann, Joerg Ditzel, Holger Ries

Patent number: 6631893Abstract: A pneumatically regulated classic bearing dampens hydraulically and decouples vibrations of a small amplitude using a freely displaceable element. The bearing can be engaged using a pneumatically activated control chamber, which has a miniature configuration and is located beneath the freely displaceable element, in such a way that the element forms a deformable or displaceable element for the control chamber. In place of a compensation regulation, in the control chamber, a shift to one of three possible, pneumatically determined control states preferably takes place. The states are VENTILATED, CLOSED and PRESSURIZED.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Woco Franz-Josef Wolf & Co.Inventors: Waldemar Hermann, Volker GrĂ¼nig
