Abstract
A torque rod includes: a rod body; a first coupling section provided at one end in an X-axis direction as a longitudinal direction of the rod body and having a first center axis along a Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction; and a second coupling section provided at the other end in the X-axis direction of the rod body and being larger than the first coupling section. The first coupling section includes: an outer member having a cylinder shape connected to the rod body; an inner member provided in the center of the outer member; and an elastic member to elastically join the outer member with the inner member, and the elastic member has a spring constant in a Z-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction smaller than a spring constant in the X-axis direction.
Claims5
A torque rod comprising:
- a rod body which is an elongated member;
- a first coupling section provided at one end in an X-axis direction as a longitudinal direction of the rod body and having a first center axis along a Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction;
- and
- a second coupling section provided at the other end in the X-axis direction of the rod body and being larger than the first coupling section,
- wherein the first coupling section includes:
- an outer member having a cylinder shape connected to the rod body;
- an inner member provided in the center of the outer member;
- and
- an elastic member to elastically join the outer member with the inner member,
- wherein the elastic member has a spring constant in a Z-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction smaller than a spring constant in the X-axis direction.
