Abstract
A liquid-filled bearing having a hydraulic damping device and two fittings which surround one another and are joined by an elastic spring element of elastomer material, there being at least one movable partition wall disposed between two liquid-filled chambers. At least one of the fittings has a gap extending essentially parallel to a moving direction and open in the direction of at least one of the two chambers. The partition wall consists of elastomer material and joins together surfaces defining the gap as the result of a rolling-diaphragm-type profile.
Claims19
A liquid-filled bearing for damping vibrations caused by movement in a moving direction, said liquid-filled bearing comprising:
- an inner fitting;
- an outer fitting surrounding said inner fitting and spaced apart from said inner fitting;
- an elastic spring element of elastomer material connecting said inner fitting and said outer fitting and dividing an area between said inner fitting and said outer fitting so as to form at least two chambers, said chambers being filled with liquid;
- a gap extending within at least one of said inner and outer fittings, said gap extending between said chambers in a gap extension direction substantially parallel to the moving direction;
- and
- at least one partition wall disposed in said gap in a rolling diaphragm-type profile, said partition wall being movable in a partition wall displacement direction;
- wherein said partition wall displacement direction is substantially perpendicular to said gap extension direction.
