VIBRATION ISOLATION TO PROTECT ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS FROM VIBRATION-INDUCED DAMAGE

A pressurization dehydrator comprising an air compressor and a controller connected to enable automatic operation of the dehydrator. The dehydrator is implemented as a freestanding, bench-top unit having a housing that encloses a baffle plate on which the compressor is mounted. The bottom panel of the housing is affixed to the plate using dumpers inserted therebetween. The plate has legs protruding through the corresponding openings in the bottom panel for supporting the whole unit in the upright position on the bench top. Some or all of the legs may not have contact with edges of the openings. In operation, the legs provide an efficient mechanical pathway for transferring some vibrational energy of the plate to the bench top, thereby diverting said energy away from the housing. The circuit board of the controller is affixed to the housing, which beneficially reduces vibration levels transferred to the electronic components of the controller.

Mount bushing with integrated isolated insert for enhanced high frequency isolation performance

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.

TRANSMISSION MOUNT FOR VEHICLE

Proposed is a transmission mount for a vehicle in which the structure of an upper insert and a lower insert integrated with a single bridge among components of the transmission mount is improved to reduce the static stiffness in the right-left direction (i.e., the Y direction) of the transmission mount. The strength of the transmission mount in the front-rear direction (i.e., the X direction) and the static stiffness in the top-bottom direction (i.e., the Z direction) is reinforced so that the pitching motion and the vertical bounce behavior of the transmission may be efficiently controlled. Accordingly, booming noise caused by the rolling motion of the transmission is minimized, thereby improving NVH performance and meeting driving performance.
