Abstract
A hydraulic mount assembly includes a first track insert (or shell), a second track insert (or shell), and a separating diaphragm (e.g., rubber membrane) as part of a body (e.g., a rubber body) disposed between the first track insert and the second track insert. In embodiments the separating diaphragm forms a seal between a first chamber disposed between a portion of the first track insert and the separating diaphragm, and forms a seal between a second chamber disposed between a portion of the second track insert and the separating diaphragm.
Claims18
A hydraulic mount, comprising:
- a first track insert;
- a second track insert;
- and
- a molded assembly including an inner core, a rubber portion disposed on the inner core, and a separating diaphragm;
- wherein the separating diaphragm is defined by a section of the rubber portion and projects radially outward from the inner core;
- wherein the separating diaphragm is secured between the first track insert and the second track insert;
- and
- wherein the separating diaphragm forms a seal between a first chamber between a portion of the first track insert and the separating diaphragm, and a second chamber between a portion of the second track insert and the separating diaphragm.

A hydraulic mount, comprising:
- a first assembly;
- a second assembly including a first track insert and a second track insert;
- wherein the first assembly and the second assembly are connected to one another to form a hydraulic track and two hydraulic chambers;
- wherein the first assembly includes an inner core, a rubber portion disposed on the inner core, a first member, a second member, and a separating diaphragm;
- wherein the first member, the second member, and the separating diaphragm are each defined by a respective section of the rubber portion and project radially outward from the inner core;
- wherein the separating diaphragm is disposed axially between the first member and the second member;
- wherein a first chamber of the two hydraulic chambers is at least partially delimited by the first track insert, the first member, and the separating diaphragm;
- wherein a second chamber of the two hydraulic chambers is at least partially delimited by the second track insert, the second member, and the separating diaphragm;
- and
- wherein an outer radial edge of the separating diaphragm is clamped between the first track insert and the second track insert such that the separating diaphragm forms a seal between the first chamber and the second chamber.
