Abstract:
A suspension fluid prepared by dispersing polyethylene oxide particles into a solvent including water and one or more types of compounds selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, and a method for manufacturing the same. The phase-change suspension fluid can be a shear-thinning fluid showing a constant newtonian behavior in a low shear rate or low frequency region, but showing a non-newtonian behavior appearing as liquid-like suspension in a high shear rate or high frequency region due to viscosity decrease, and is capable of reversible phase changes by the vibration of a vehicle, and therefore, may provide effects of having advantages of a hydraulic bush in a low frequency region and also having advantages of a solid bush in a high frequency region.
Abstract:
A hydraulically damping rubber bearing has a substantially hollow-cylindrical inner portion and an outer portion disposed with a predetermined spacing relative to the inner portion. A resilient connection portion is disposed between the inner portion and the outer portion and connects the outer portion to the inner portion. The resilient connection portion has a first hydraulic damping circuit with at least two first fluid chambers which are in fluid communication with each other by means of a first flow connection. The first hydraulic damping circuit has a damping action in a predetermined direction. A second hydraulic damping circuit provides a damping action in the same predetermined direction as the first hydraulic damping circuit.
Abstract:
A hydraulic bushing having at least two chambers and at least one channel connecting the chambers. The bushing is made of a high durometer rubber or other polymer to increase durability. The bushing further includes a center bearing press fit in the center of the annular bushing. The bushing is further press fit into an annular seal operable to seal the fluid within the chambers and channels. The bearing, bushing, and seal assembly is then press fit into a bracket which is subsequently mounted to the vehicle. The center bearing is operable to hold the prop shaft wherein the center bearing is free to rotate within the bushing thereby allowing the prop shaft to rotate.

A hydromount absorbs and alleviates vibration of driving components such as an engine, a power train, a transmission, and the like of a vehicle, and more particularly, to a three point supporting hydromount in which inner pipes are disposed in a horizontal direction of a vehicle frame.
Abstract:
A fluid-filled cylindrical vibration-damping device including a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting an inner shaft member and an outer cylindrical member with each other. A pair of first fluid chambers are formed on diametrically opposite sides of the inner shaft member and a pair of second fluid chambers are formed being diametrically opposed to each other such that an opposing direction of the second fluid chambers is orthogonal to an opposing direction of the first fluid chambers. Each partition wall that partitions the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber extends in a direction in more proximity to the opposing direction of the first fluid chambers than to the opposing direction of the second fluid chambers so that spring rigidity as measured in the opposing direction of the first fluid chambers is set greater than spring rigidity as measured in the opposing direction of the second fluid chambers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydroelastic joint that is used to assemble two pieces. The inventive joint comprises an external reinforcement (1) and an internal reinforcement (3), each having a longitudinal axis, and one of which is disposed around the other. Moreover, said joint comprises a first assembly (5) forming a hydroelasctic spring which is disposed between said reinforcements. The aforementioned first assembly comprises a first elastically-deformable element (6) which is shaped in such a way as to define, between the reinforcements, at least one sealed volume (9) that contains a damping fluid (8). A second elastically-deformable element (24) is disposed between the first assembly and the first of said external and internal reinforcements. The invention is characterised in that the second elastically-deformable element (24) is provided with a longitudinal dimension which is smaller than the corresponding longitudinal dimension of the first elastically-deformable element (6). In this way, the transversal deformation of the first elastically-deformable element (6) is limited during the relative tilting of the longitudinal axes of said reinforcements around at least one transverse tilting axis (D).
Abstract:
A hydraulic bushing forms a mount between a first component and a second component by including a first spring portion connected between a core and an inner support structure and a second spring portion surrounding the inner support structure. The first spring portion is formed of rubber and defines hydraulic fluid cavities and a fluid channel extending between the cavities, while the second spring portion is formed of microcellular polyurethane. The first spring portion and the second spring portion are located so they operate in series with one another. In this way, vibrations of a load transferred through the hydraulic bushing can be damped at a predetermined low frequency by the rubber with hydraulic fluid cavities, while still allowing for isolating of higher frequencies by the microcellular polyurethane.
Abstract:
A liquid-sealed vibration-proof device capable of avoiding leakage of liquid upon press fitting of an outer cylinder is provided. An intermediate ring interposed between the outer cylinder and an antivibratory base is formed at its outer circumferential surface with two projecting streaks, the one on liquid chambers side being formed with cutouts. When the outer cylinder is press fitted to an attachment opening of a vehicle body, the liquid confined in a space enclosed between both projecting streaks can escape to the liquid chambers, so that liquid never leaks outside.
Abstract:
This anti-vibration mount, comprising a base and a head connected by an elastomer body, is intended to be interposed between two rigid elements to damp the vibrations between these two elements, on a central axis. This mount comprises a non-extensible limiting cable forming a loop, which is fixed to the base and to the head, this cable comprising a first part which is supported on the head by winding around it and which extends towards the base from the head, and a second part which runs along at least a first portion of the periphery of the base and winds around at least a first return element integral with the base, level with two joints between this second part and the first part of the cable, the cable being restrained by the return element.
