A vibration damping device including: a first attachment member and a second attachment member disposed apart from each other; and a main rubber elastic body connecting the first attachment member and the second attachment member, the main rubber elastic body being of a frustoconical-like shape having an outer peripheral surface whose diameter gradually increases from the first attachment member toward the second attachment member, the main rubber elastic body including a recess opening onto a center portion thereof on a large-diameter side that is a second attachment member side, and the main rubber elastic body that constitutes a bottom part of the recess integrally including a vibration-damping protrusion protruding into the recess.

An elastomeric compression spring for isolating vibrations between a first part and a second part. The first part is movable in a direction relative to the second part. The elastomeric compression spring comprises a tube elongated along a central axis of the tube. The central axis of the tube is perpendicular to the direction. The tube is configured to compress in the direction. The tube comprises an outer surface comprising an initial contact line configured to initially receive contact from the first part. The tube further comprises at least one load tuning feature in the outer surface, parallel to the central axis, and circumferentially spaced apart from the initial contact line. The at least one load tuning feature creates a localized change in a thickness of the tube and a stiffness of the elastomeric compression spring at the at least one load tuning feature.

An impact mitigating assembly includes an elongate member formed from a plurality of triangulated cylindrical origami (TCO) unit cells that exhibit coupled rotational and axial motion. The unit cells include an end portion and a tubular member fixed to the end portion. The tubular member has a plurality of concave sides. Each side has a first triangular portion and a second triangular portion sharing an elastic connecting edge with the second triangular portion. The first triangular portion also shares an angled upright edge with the second triangular portion of an adjacent side. Compressing the tubular member longitudinally causes the connecting edge and the angled upright edge to elastically deform, for example by stretching, and causes the second end of the tubular member to rotate with respect to the first end of the tubular member.

A vibration isolator includes: a vibration isolation member including a metal plate as a plate-shaped member, and an upper rubber layer and a lower rubber layer deposited on a top surface and a bottom surface of the metal plate; an insertion hole through which a fastening member for attaching the vibration isolation member to a sealing target, the insertion hole being provided on an outer peripheral side of the vibration isolation member; and a vibration isolation bead portion provided in at least part of a surrounding area around the insertion hole in the vibration isolation member.

A subframe mounting bush structure for improving NVH performance is provided. The subframe mounting bush structure includes an outer shell, a first bridge formed in the outer shell along a longitudinal direction, a second bridge formed in the outer shell along the longitudinal direction, a first inner shell positioned at a center of the first bridge, and a second inner shell positioned at a center of the second bridge.

Rack mount systems and vibration absorbing devices, vibration absorber systems, and adjustable bracket assemblies for those rack mount systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vibration absorber includes a compressible shaft extending from a first end to a second end. The compressible shaft defines a cylindrical central bore along a major axis of the compressible shaft. A first compressible annular flange extends distally away from the first end, while a second compressible annular flange extends distally away from the second end. A hub between the first compressible annular flange and the second compressible annular flange includes a plurality of vibration-dampening arms extending distally therefrom. The vibration absorber can be over-molded to a mounting bracket.

A damping structure configured for connecting a gimbal with a carrier includes a first connecting member connectable with the gimbal, a second connecting member connectable with the carrier, and a damper elastically disposed between the first connecting member and the second connecting member. The damper includes a damper body, a first fixed portion, and a second fixed portion. The first fixed portion and the second fixed portion are configured to connect with two opposite sides of the damper body, respectively. The first fixed portion includes an elastic ring sleeve configured to sleeve couple with the first connecting member. The second fixed portion is connected with the second connecting member.

A damping element (1) has a multi-start thread on its circumferential surface (4). The damping element (1) can engage in a recess in a first body (12). To this end, the damping element (1) has a thread portion on its circumferential surface and the recess (13) in the first body (12) has in its inner lateral surface at least one mating thread portion which corresponds to the thread portion of the damping element (1). Through engagement of the thread in the mating thread, the damping element can be screwed together with the first body (12). By means of the thread, the damping element (1) can be fastened to the first body (12) and separated therefrom again with little effort. A fastening element (23) can fasten the damping element (1) to a second body in order to fasten the first (12) and the second bodies to one another in a vibration-damped manner.
