Abstract
A two-chamber engine mount with hydraulic damping includes a housing having rubber-elastic peripheral walls and an engine side to be connected to an engine, an intermediate plate dividing the housing into fluid-filled chambers being in communication with each other through a penetration formed in the intermediate plate, and an active vibration generator being integrated into one of the fluid-filled chambers closest to the engine side and being controllable in dependence on predetermined operating parameters.
