The inner cylinder has a central convex portion being formed in a curved shape. A distance between a vertex of the central recess portion and the vertex of the central convex portion is smaller than a distance between a point other than the vertex of the central recess portion and a point at which a straight line extending from the point other than the vertex of the central recess portion to an intersection point of the perpendicular line and the axis of the inner cylinder intersects the central convex portion.

A rubber-metal bush bearing, in particular a control arm bearing for a motor vehicle wheel suspension, including a metal inner part, an elastomer body arranged radially relative to the inner part and a metal outer bush, wherein the elastomer body is fixed to the inner part and to the outer bush in material-bonded relationship and wherein the outer bush is for fixing in an associated bearing eye of an arm and the inner part has at both sides in terminal relationship a respective flat flange portion for fixing to a component. The inner part is an extruded hollow-chamber profile member which is cut to length and which at both longitudinal ends is transformed in terminal relationship into the respective flat flange portion in such a way that oppositely disposed wall portions of the hollow-chamber profile member are brought into mutual surface contact.

An isolator assembly is configured for damping vibrations of a sensor deployed outside of an aircraft. The isolator assembly includes a platform configured for mechanically supporting the sensor, a lift mechanism configured to raise and lower the platform for stowing the sensor inside the aircraft and deploying the sensor outside the aircraft, and a plate secured inside the aircraft beneath the platform. The plate includes a through-hole for the sensor to extend through. A pin extends below the platform and an isolator mount is disposed on a top side of the plate. The isolator mount includes a slot configured to receive the pin upon deploying the sensor outside the aircraft. The platform and the plate are configured to stabilize the sensor and the isolator assembly is configured to damp vibrations imparted on the sensor by the airstream during flight.

A bushing assembly for a stabilizer bar in a vehicle includes a split ring defining a passageway engaging with an outer surface of the stabilizer bar, an outer diameter surface, a first split ring end, a second split ring end, and at least one axial retention flange disposed at either the first split ring end or the second split ring end. The bushing assembly includes an elastomer bushing defining an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a first bushing end, a second bushing end, a first axial flange disposed at the first bushing end, and a second axial flange at the second bushing end. At least one of the first axial flange and the second axial flange abut against the at least one axial retention flange of the split ring to create a zero clearance condition. The bushing assembly also includes a strap clamp securing the bushing assembly to the vehicle.

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.

A composite material bush may include a center plate; and an outer foam which is arranged outside the center plate to surround the center plate and is made of different kinds of materials.

An elastic bushing (1), particularly for use in the goods transport vehicle sector includes: a cylindrical tubular element (2) made of self-lubricating material, and an intermediate ring (3) made of an elastically deformable material, wherein the tubular element (2) and the intermediate ring (3), at one end (2′, 3′) thereof, are respectively provided with stop collars (4, 5). The elastic bushing (1) further includes an outer ring (6) made of plastic material adapted to deform, on assembly, to allow the bushing (1) to be forced into a respective assembly seat (100), wherein the outer ring (6) has along its side wall a reinforced annular section (16) and at least one gradual coupling surface (26) between the reinforced annular section (16) and the end (6″) of the outer ring opposite the stop collars (4, 5).

A liquid-filled bushing (1) includes an inner tube (11) and an outer member (12). The outer member (12) defines a pair of liquid chambers between the outer member (12) and the inner tube (11), and an orifice portion (13) in which an orifice passage (24) which communicates with the liquid chambers is formed. An elastic body (14) which elastically connects together the orifice portion (13) and the inner tube (11) is provided. The pair of liquid chambers are individually disposed on both sides between which the inner tube (11) is interposed. A first protrusion portion (11a) which protrudes outward in the radial direction and is fitted into the elastic body is formed in the inner tube (11), and a second protrusion portion (28) which protrudes inward in the radial direction and is fitted into the elastic body (14) is formed in the orifice portion (13). The first protrusion portion (11a) and the second protrusion portion (28) are disposed in both portions between the pair of liquid chambers adjacent in a circumferential direction such that positions of the portions in the circumferential direction coincide with each other and positions of the portions in the direction of the center axis are different from each other.
