Abstract
The invention relates to a hydraulic antivibratory device comprising a rigid core, a rigid circular base and an annular supporting elastic wall sealingly connecting the core to the base, the inner space of the box so formed being filled with liquid L and the core being extended inside the box, by a rigid foot itself terminated by a piston whose contour defines, with the opposite wall portion a throttled annular passage for the liquid. The base is perforated by at least one port whose length is very much less than the mean diameter and the base, external to the box is capped by a flexible and sealed bellows adapted to form with it a pocket of variable volume.
Claims8
Hydraulic anti-vibratory device designed to be inserted for the purposes of support and damping between two rigid elements, constituted by a sealed box comprising a rigid core fixedly attachable to one of the two rigid elements, a rigid base which is fixedly attachable to the other rigid element, and an annular supporting elastic wall connecting the core to the base in sealed manner, the inner space of said box being filled with a liquid and the core being extended, inside the box, by a rigid foot which terminates at a piston, the liquid being provided on first and second opposite sides of the piston, and the outer contour of the piston being shaped to define with the opposite wall of the box a throttled annular passage for throttling flow of the liquid between said first and second opposite sides of the piston, the base outside the box being capped by a flexible and sealed bellows sealingly connected to the base to form with the base a pocket of variable volume for the liquid and said base being perforated by at least one port whose length is very much less than the mean diameter of the port, said port connecting between one another the inner spaces of the box and of the pocket.
