Trunnion mount for mounting an engine
The present disclosure discloses a trunnion mount for mounting an engine, in particular a combustion engine, to a chassis, comprising a support element rigidly connected and/or connectable to the engine having a ring portion with an outer bearing surface, which may be arranged concentrically around the crankshaft; a female support having an inner bearing surface for surrounding the bearing surface of the support element, the female support forming the link between the chassis and the engine; and a rubber bearing arranged between the inner bearing surface of the female support and the outer bearing surface of the support element. In one or more examples, the trunnion mount includes a rubber bearing that is directly vulcanized on at least one of the bearing surfaces and/or wherein the ring portion is formed as a separate element from a mounting portion of the support element and connectable thereto via axial screws.
Method for Connecting a First Component to a Second Component
A method connects a first component to a second component. The first component is located at a distance to the second component. The method includes: providing a spacer element which has a sleeve-shaped section with a through-opening and an outer thread; screwing the spacer element with the outer thread into a threaded bore which is provided in the second component; screwing the spacer element into a screwed position in which the spacer element protrudes out of the threaded bore such that the spacer element bridges the distance between the first and the second component, wherein the end face of the spacer element rests against the first component side facing the second component; and clamping together the two components and the spacer element by way of a screw which is screwed into the sleeve-shaped section of the spacer element or which passes through the sleeve-shaped section of the spacer element.
Bush-type hydraulic mount
A bush-type hydraulic mount used for mounting a motor module in an electric vehicle is provided. The bush-type hydraulic mount includes an inner pipe, a middle pipe disposed coaxially with the inner pipe, and a main rubber that is vulcanized between the inner pipe and the middle pipe. An outer pipe surrounds the middle pipe. The main rubber includes a front fluid chamber that is recessed from a surface of the main rubber, a rear fluid chamber adjacent to the front fluid chamber and recessed from the surface of the main rubber, and a bridge that separates the front fluid chamber and the rear fluid chamber to allow fluid to flow between the front fluid chamber and the rear fluid chamber and being deformable by external force.
Utility vehicle automatic transmission powertrain mounting
A utility vehicle automatic transmission powertrain mounting includes a front isolator under an internal combustion engine, a pair of mid isolators under an adapter plate between the internal combustion engine and an automatic transmission, and a rear isolator over the automatic transmission. Each of the isolators is on a frame member of a rear portion of an off road or recreational utility vehicle frame. The utility vehicle powertrain mounting may be used with multiple engine options on off road or recreational utility vehicles having powertrains behind the seats and under the cargo bed. The utility vehicle powertrain mounting provides easy access to service, repair or replace the transmission, and provides support and stability for the engine during transmission work.
HYDRAULIC POWERTRAIN COMPONENT MOUNT WITH VARIABLE STIFFNESS
A powertrain component mount includes a housing, a main rubber element, a hydraulic body, a membrane and a valve. The main rubber element has an outer armature, an inner armature and an isolating element coupled to the armatures, the isolating element being formed of a material that is more flexible than the outer armature and the inner armature, wherein the main rubber element defines at least part of a fluid flow path. The hydraulic body supports the outer armature of the main rubber element, defines part of the fluid flow path, a fluid chamber, and part of a control chamber communicated with the fluid flow path. The hydraulic body has a port open to the control chamber. The membrane defines part of the control chamber and the valve has a valve head movable between a first position closing the port and a second position spaced from the port.

In one or more examples, the trunnion mount includes a rubber bearing that is directly vulcanized on at least one of the bearing surfaces and/or wherein the ring portion is formed as a separate element from a mounting portion of the support element and connectable thereto via axial screws.
Power train support structure for vehicle
A power train support structure includes a first front side frame disposed on one of left and right sides of a power train; a second front side frame disposed on the other of the left and right sides of the power train, and being greatly away from the power train with respect to the first front side frame; a mounting bracket having one of left and right ends connected to the power train; and a connecting member for connecting the mounting bracket and the second front side frame. The mounting bracket includes a front fixing portion and a rear fixing portion to be fixed to the power train. A strength of the front fixing portion and the rear fixing portion is set to such a strength that the rear fixing portion is broken by a collision load from a front side, and the front fixing portion is not broken.
Anti-vibration device
A anti-vibration device (1) includes a bracket (4) made of a synthetic resin and cylindrical metal fittings for fastening (5), where the bracket (4) and the metal fittings for fastening (5) are integrally formed. A vibration input position (P) is a position that does not coincide with a virtual line (L1) passing through central axes (O5) of a through holes (5h) of two metal fittings for fastening (5) in a planar view; the metal fitting for fastening (5) has a flange portion (51); and the flange portion 51 has a first outermost peripheral edge (51a) and a second outermost peripheral edge (51b), where a length (L51a) to the first outermost peripheral edge (51a) is longer than a length (L51b) to the second outermost peripheral edge (51b) based on the center axis (O5) of the through hole (5h).
Mounting structure for drive device in series hybrid vehicle
A mounting structure for a drive device includes: a power generation unit having an engine and a generator driven by the engine to generate electric power; and a drive unit having a motor for traveling and a power transmission mechanism that outputs torque from the motor toward a driving wheel. A frame member of a vehicle body is provided inside an engine compartment. The power generation unit and the drive unit are arranged, inside the engine compartment, side by side in a width direction of a vehicle so as not to contact each other, and are each connected to the frame member via a mount member. Portions of the power generation unit and the drive unit, which are close to each other in the width direction, are connected by a connecting member having an anti-vibration elastic body.
Power Train Support System, Vehicle, and Method for Operating a Power Train Support System in a Vehicle
An embodiment power train support system includes a support frame including a support structure configured to support a power train with respect to a vertical direction and a first connection interface, and a mounting device including a mounting interface at which the mounting device is mounted to a carrier part of a vehicle, a second connection interface mechanically connected to the first connection interface of the support frame, and an actuation device configured to move the second connection interface relative to the mounting interface along the vertical direction.
