Bushing type mount with triple spring rate
Abstract:
An isolation mount is provided having triple spring rate capability. The mount provides a first spring rate to absorb and isolate engine shock and vibration to a first deflection limit and then a higher spring rate to a second deflection limit. If desired, a still higher spring rate above the second deflection limit is provided. The mount includes annular inner and outer bushings separated by an annular ring and a plurality of resilient supporting bushings. The ring and bushings are sized with respect to each other so that initial radial loading is taken by the plurality of resilient bushings until a first gap between the ring and the outer bushings is closed. This effectively removes the contribution of a pair of the resilient bushings to the spring rate. Thereafter, a further increase of the load will close a second gap between the ring and the inner bushing and effectively remove the remaining resilient bushing's contribution to the spring rate. The first spring rate is thus changed to a higher second spring rate. Thereafter, further deflection will result in a third spring rate higher than the second spring rate.
