Bearing Arrangement of a Component on an Axle Carrier for a Motor Vehicle, and Motor Vehicle, in Particular Passenger Car
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.
BRACKET
A bracket with an excellent reinforcing effect is provided. A bracket (1) with an opening (A) includes a body (10) and a reinforcement portion (20). The body (10) is made of resin. The body (10) includes a pair of column portions (11) and a pair of connecting portions (12, 13). The body (10) includes a plate portion (15) on at least one of the column portions (11). The plate portion (15) is provided with ribs (16 to 18) that extend from the side of the opening (A) to the bracket outer peripheral side and protrude in the opening penetration direction. The reinforcement portion (20) includes a reinforcement portion (21). The reinforcement portion (21) forms an outer peripheral face (f1) of the bracket (1). The reinforcement portion (21) is arranged so as to overlap the ribs (16 to 18) when viewed in the opening penetration direction.
Vibration-damping device
A vibration-damping device (10) of the present invention includes a first attachment member (11), a second attachment member (12), an elastic body (13), and a partition member (16). In the partition member, a restriction passage (24) through which the first liquid chamber (14) and the second liquid chamber (15) communicate with each other is formed. The restriction passage includes a first communicating portion (26) which opens to the first liquid chamber, a second communicating portion (27) which opens to the second liquid chamber, and a main body flow passage (25) through which the first communicating portion and the second communicating portion communicate with each other. At least one of the first communicating portion and the second communicating portion includes a plurality of fine holes (26a) which are disposed in a flow passage direction of the main body flow passage. In plurality of fine holes, a flow passage length of a fine hole located apart from the other of the first communicating portion and the second communicating portion in the flow passage direction becomes longer.
Support bracket for mounting transmission and mounting assembly provided with the same
A support bracket for mounting a power train includes a bracket body including an engaging hole formed to insert an engaging bolt of a power train mount, an insert portion formed adjacent to the engaging hole, and a pocket formed adjacent to the insert portion, and an engaging nut inserted in the insert portion along the insert direction to engage the engaging bolt, and a stopper configured to prevent the engaging nut from separation.
Lquid-filled vibration isolator
Provided is a liquid-filled vibration isolator through which durability of an elastic movable body can be improved. In a case that a liquid pressure of liquid passing through a second orifice P2 is exerted to an outer circumference portion 12 of an elastic movable body 10, whole of the outer circumference portion 12 deforms so as to bend. Based on deformation of the outer circumference portion 12, a first valve portion 13 and facing surfaces 81c, 91c mutually contact or separate. Thereby, the communication state and the blocking state of the second orifice P2 are switched. Since it can be restrained that stress is concentrated in a part of the outer circumference portion 12 by wholly bending the outer circumference portion 12, cracks are less likely to occur in the outer circumference portion 12.
OFF-ROAD VEHICLE RADIATOR
A recreational off-highway vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll cage. Grab handles are positioned on the sides of the passenger seat. Select large round tubing protects the vehicle, while rectangular tubing frames the portions of the vehicle beneath body panels. The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that is connected to a transaxle. A radiator is positioned above the engine. The vehicle is suited for rough terrain travel.
CRADLE TO BODY JOINT RELEASE MECHANISM
A mount assembly for attaching a cradle to a vehicle frame includes an inner sleeve. The inner sleeve defines an inner sleeve aperture having a first aperture portion having a first diameter and a second aperture portion having a second diameter. The mount assembly also includes a bushing having a bushing body and configured to extend through the first aperture portion. The mount assembly additionally includes a fuse fixed to the bushing body to separate the first and second aperture portions. The mount assembly also includes a fastener configured to extend through the bushing body and an aperture in the vehicle frame for attaching the cradle to the frame. The fuse is configured to separate from the bushing body under a predetermined load to permit the fastener to shift from the first aperture portion to the second aperture portion and the cradle to shift relative to the frame.
VISCOUS ISOLATOR WITH AIR SPRING
A vibration isolator includes a housing forming an internal cavity, an elastomeric diaphragm within the internal cavity, the elastomeric diaphragm combining with a first end of the housing to form an air spring within the internal cavity, a mechanical spring in series with the air spring within the internal cavity; a mount in series with the mechanical spring opposite the air spring, an annular elastomeric stopper between a second end of the housing and the mount, wherein the mount and the annular elastomeric stopper combine to seal the second end of the housing to form a chamber within the internal cavity between the elastomeric diaphragm and the second end of the housing, and a plate seated on the mount within chamber.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
A pair of bracket fastening parts (7, 12, 91, 92, 121, 122, 161, 162) are provided on a side of the main body in an adjoining relationship, each bracket fastening part including a plurality of bosses (32 to 35, 72 to 75, 102 to 106, 132 to 137) arranged in a convex polygonal pattern and a plurality of ribs (37 to 42, 60, 80 to 84, 110 to 115, 140 to 146) connecting the bosses in a prescribed pattern. At least two of the bosses of one of the bracket fastening parts are shared by an adjoining one of the bracket fastening parts. Thereby, the engine can be adapted for multiple applications while minimizing an increase in the weight of the engine.
ENGINE MOUNT, SYSTEM AND METHOD
An engine mount includes a center pin, a main rubber element, and a housing. In embodiments, the main rubber element may include at least one joining plate with at least one tab, and may be configured to at least partially encapsulate the center pin and the at least one joining plate. The housing may be configured to receive and/or engage the main rubber element including the center pin and the at least one joining plate. The main rubber element may be secured to the housing via the at least one joining plate and/or the at least one tab.
