Abstract
Hydraulically damping rubber bearing, consisting of a divided inner part, an outer part located at some distance from the inner part, and rubber springs inserted between the inner part and the outer part, in which bearing there are at least two chambers hydraulically connected to one another by at least one throttle passage and filled with damping medium, whereby at least one of the chambers, over at least a portion of its axial limit, is bordered by an axially and/or radially movable, membrane-like end wall designed as one piece with the rubber spring, whereby the component containing the throttle passage is designed in two parts and is fastened and sealed in a recess in the inner part.
Claims20
Hydraulically damping elastomeric bearing comprising;
- an outer member for encasing said bearing;
- an inner member for being disposed within said outer member;
- a resilient member means for retaining said inner member in said outer member;
- at least two chambers comprising first and second chambers said first chamber and said second chamber disposed between said inner member and said outer member;
- a component disposed about said inner member, said component comprising a throttle passage, said throttle passage connected between said first and said second chambers for allowing passage of damping fluid between said first and said second chamber;
- and
- said component comprising two separate parts for dividing said component into substantial portions such that insertion of said component into said inner member is facilitated.
A method for assembling a hydraulically damping rubber bearing, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing an outer member for encasing said bearing;
- mounting an inner member within said outer member;
- providing resilient member means for retaining said inner member and outer member;
- creating at least two chambers comprising first and second chambers;
- said first chamber and said second chamber disposed between said inner member and said outer member;
- assembling a component from two separate parts;
- said two separate parts for dividing said components in substantial portions;
- creating a throttle passage in said component;
- mounting said component about said inner member;
- inserting said component into said inner member;
- connecting said throttle passage between said first and said second chambers for allowing passage of damping fluid between said first and said second chamber.
