Abstract
A system for supporting the torque of an internal-combustion engine has a support arranged transversely in the vehicle. This support has a strut as well as a support arm. These two support parts are connected with one another by way of an elastic bearing, the strut being fastened on a camshaft housing and the support arm being fastened on the side member of the vehicle. The elastic bearing is connected with the vehicle body structure, for example, on a spring strut dome, by way of a console.
Claims18
System for supporting the torque of an internal-combustion engine in a vehicle by way of at least one torque support which is arranged transversely in the vehicle between the internal-combustion engine and a vehicle body support member and is connected with the vehicle body structure,
- wherein the torque support is constructed of at least two parts and comprises:
- a support arm connected with one of a cylinder head cover and a camshaft housing by a pivoting bearing, and
- an adjoining strut held by way of a stationary elastic bearing, which strut is fastened on an end side on a support member of body structure of the vehicle,
- wherein the support arm is held by one end on the one of the cylinder head cover and the camshaft housing by way of the pivoting bearing in a console supporting block and is supported by means of its other end in the elastic bearing which is stationarily disposed on a spring strut dome by way of a receiving block.
System for supporting the torque of an internal-combustion engine in a vehicle by way of at least one torque support which is arranged transversely in the vehicle between the internal-combustion engine and a vehicle body support member and is connected with the vehicle body structure,
- wherein the torque support is constructed of at least two parts and comprises:
- a support arm connected with one of a cylinder head cover and a camshaft housing by a pivoting bearing, and
- an adjoining strut held by way of a stationary elastic bearing, which strut is fastened on an end side on a support member of body structure of the vehicle,
- wherein the strut has a sheet metal angle on an end side, which sheet metal angle is connected with the support member of the vehicle body structure and has two legs which reach over the support member from above and from below, and
- wherein the strut ends in front of the support member, which causes an introduction of force from the strut into the support member approximately in the center in the direction of the support member.
System for supporting the torque of an internal-combustion engine in a vehicle by way of at least one torque support which is arranged transversely in the vehicle between the internal-combustion engine and a vehicle body support member and is connected with the vehicle body structure,
- wherein the torque support is constructed of at least two parts and comprises:
- a support arm connected with one of a cylinder head cover and a camshaft housing by a pivoting bearing, and
- an adjoining strut held by way of a stationary elastic bearing, which strut is fastened on an end side on a support member of body structure of the vehicle,
- wherein the elastic bearing connecting the support arm with the strut is constructed as a damping bearing with two kidney-shaped recesses which are aligned in a direction of pressure load of the torque support behind one another in a horizontal plane,
- wherein the strut has a sheet metal angle on an end side, which sheet metal angle is connected with the support member of the vehicle body structure and has two legs which reach over the support member from above and from below, and
- wherein the strut ends in front of the support member, which causes an introduction of force from the strut into the support member approximately in the center in the direction of the support member.
