The bearing includes an annular body axially between the working and compensating chambers, enclosing an axial throughopening opening into the working chamber and closed by a membrane integrally formed with the inner wall of the bellows. The membrane has a central region defined by the inner wall and together with the inner wall delimits the interior. The membrane has a collar region encircling the central region and integrally formed with the central region. The outer circumference of the collar is rigidly connected to the annular body and/or the spring body.

Hydraulic mount assembly and a powertrain that utilizes the hydraulic mount assembly

A hydraulic mount assembly includes a mount body defining a cavity. A powertrain includes a dynamic mass, and a structure that supports the dynamic mass. The assembly is attached to the structure and supports the dynamic mass. A first plate is fixed relative to the mount body inside the cavity to separate the cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first plate defines a plurality of first passages that fluidly connects the first and second chambers. A decoupler is disposed between the first and second chambers. An actuator is coupled to the first plate. The decoupler is movable in response to actuation of the actuator. The decoupler abuts the first plate when in a locked position to prevent fluid communication through the first passages. The decoupler is movable relative to the first plate when in an unlocked position to allow fluid communication through the first passages.

An engine mount is provided to change properties based on magnitudes of amplitudes input to the engine mount. The engine mount includes a membrane having a central portion and an outer circumferential portion. Upper and lower orifice brackets are mounted between an insulator and a diaphragm to divide an interior of a main casing into an upper liquid chamber and a lower liquid chamber. The upper and lower orifice brackets define a flow path that enables a fluid to flow between the upper and lower liquid chambers and define a receiving space in which the membrane is movable in a vertical direction. An air chamber is connected to a lower side of the lower orifice bracket and allows a lower portion of the membrane to be exposed to air.
