Active bearing

An active bearing for controlled vibration transmission comprising:

• a) an interface including static and dynamic load transfer parts to be attached to a load through which the static and dynamic load parts are transferred;
• b) at least one support element in an operative connection with the interface and a support unit, the at least one support element supporting at least the transfer of the static load part along a first force path extending from the support unit to the interface;
• c) at least one linear actuator supported indirectly or directly on the support unit;
• d) a gear unit for transmission of an actuating path change originating from the at least one linear actuator, the gear unit being in an operative connection with the at least one linear actuator;
• e) at least one decoupling unit, for decoupling the static load transfer part and for transmitting the dynamic load transfer part so that the gear unit is indirectly or directly in an operative connection with the interface;
• and wherein
• the at least one linear actuator, the gear unit and the at least one decoupling unit are disposed serially with respect to one another and form a second force path extending from the support unit to the interface for the dynamic load transfer, and the at least one linear actuator, the gear unit, the at least one decoupling unit, and at least one elastically deformable element is disposed along the second force path, with the support element and the at least one elastically deformable element being separated from one another;
• the gear unit is a mechanical path transmission mechanism comprising at least one lever mechanism;
• and
• the components of the active bearing contained along the first and second force paths are separated along the first and second force paths with a gaseous compressible medium to isolate the first and second force paths.
