Abstract
Mount for a piston-cylinder assembly, especially for a vibration damper, where one end of the piston rod is immovably connected to upper and lower flanges of the mount. A radial, ring-shaped space is formed at least at the lower support flange of the mount, and an elastomeric body is clamped between the lower support flange and the upper support flange, this body being connected to the component to be damped. A support body, which is connected immovably to the support flange and immovably to the piston rod, is provided in the ring-shaped space to absorb the support forces acting on the support flange.
Claims11
A mount for a piston cylinder assembly having a piston rod extending from a cylinder, the piston rod having an end outside the cylinder, the mount comprising
- an upper support flange and a lower support flange fixed to said piston rod, one of said support flanges being a cup-shaped support flange having a sleeve part and a bottom.
- an elastomeric body, for connecting to a structural component to be damped, located radially outside of said sleeve part and clamped between said upper support flange and said lower support flange,
- a ring-shaped space formed between said sleeve part of said one of said support flanges and said piston rod, and
- a support body provided in said ring-shaped space and fixed to said one of said support flanges and said piston rod for absorbing cardanic forces acting on said flanges.
