Abstract
An example mount assembly includes a first chamber, at least partially defined by a first elastomeric element and a second chamber, at least partially defined by a second elastomeric element. The assembly also includes an inertia track having a central opening defining an axis. The inertia track defines a serpentine passage in fluid communication with the first chamber and the second chamber. The inertia track is moveable along the axis relative to the first elastomeric element and the second elastomeric element.
Claims23
A mount assembly comprising:
- a first chamber, at least partially defined by a first elastomeric element;
- a second chamber, at least partially defined by a second elastomeric element;
- and
- an inertia track including a central opening defining an axis, the inertia track defining a serpentine passage in fluid communication with the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the inertia track is moveable along the axis relative to the first elastomeric element and the second elastomeric element.
