A mount bushing includes an outer ring adapted for connection to a mount structure. A tubular bushing insert is disposed inside the outer ring and a main elastomeric isolation arrangement disposed between the outer ring and the tubular bushing insert. A secondary elastomeric element is disposed inside the tubular bushing insert, wherein the secondary elastomeric element is isolated from the main elastomeric isolation element by the tubular bushing insert. A structural tube is disposed inside the secondary elastomeric element and a mounting bolt is inserted through the structural tube.

A bearing arrangement of a component on an axle carrier which is to be mounted on a body of a motor vehicle is provided, in the case of which bearing arrangement the axle carrier has two longitudinal elements as first structural elements and at least one transverse element as a second structural element, via which the longitudinal elements are connected to one another. The component is mounted on the axle carrier via a rubber bearing which has a bearing core and a rubber element which is formed from rubber and via which the component is mounted on the axle carrier. In the installed position of the component and the axle carrier, in the vehicle vertical direction, the bearing core is arranged below a lower side, which points downwards in the vehicle vertical direction, or above an upper side, which points upwards in the vehicle vertical direction, of one of the structural elements, and is attached via its two ends and, as a result, in double shear to the one structural element or the component.

A bearing bush for supporting a motor vehicle part includes an inner tube made of a metal, a sliding sleeve made of a first plastic material and mounted rotatably on the inner tube, and an elastomer bearing which surrounds the sliding sleeve and has at least a first elastomer body and an outer sleeve. A sliding layer made of a second plastic material is applied to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tube, the first plastic material and the second plastic material forming a tribological pairing either of two different polymers from the groups of polyamides, polyoxymethylenes, polyketones, fluoropolymers, polyethylene terephthalates or polybutylene terephthalates, or the tribological pairing being formed from polyketone against polyketone, wherein the polymers of the tribological pairings each are present in a continuous thermoplastic polymer phase.

A device for mounting a load to a carrier is described. The device includes a first support configured for fixation to the carrier; a second support configured for fixation to the load. The first and second supports are spaced away from each other viewed along a main load bearing axis of the device. The device further includes an outer shell extending along the main load bearing axis, and an inner member that is within the outer shell. The device includes a damping material connecting the inner member to at least the outer shell, wherein one of the outer shell and the inner member connects the first support and the second support to each other.

A damper unit for use in a vibration-reducing assembly for a steering wheel is disclosed. The damper unit includes a slider configured, upon horn activation, to slide on a guide shaft. A damper element made from an elastomeric material is arranged on a first part of the slider. A molded horn spring element is molded directly on a second part of the slider and is configured to exert a spring force on the slider. The damper unit provides a unitary structure providing both a vibration damping function and a horn spring function in one single assembly unit, reducing the number of components to assemble. A vibration-reducing damper assembly including one or more such damper units is also disclosed, as well as a method of making such a damper unit.

The present disclosure provides a bushing assembly. The bushing assembly includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve, an elastomer, and a bar pin. The elastomer is disposed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The bar pin includes a first end, a second end, and a central portion between the first end and the second end. The central portion extends along a longitudinal axis. The central portion has a cruciform cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The bar pin further includes a first intermediate portion between the central portion and the first end. The first intermediate portion has an uninterrupted circular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The inner sleeve circumscribes the central portion of the bar pin.

A suspension bushing for a powertrain of an electric vehicle includes amandrel, an outer sleeve and a rubber mainspring connected between the mandrel and the outer sleeve. The rubber main spring includes multiple main parts arranged at intervals and surrounding the outer contour of the mandrel. At least one side of each of the main parts is provided with an extending part. An end surface of the extending part and an end surfaceof each main part form a stepped structure.
