An engine mount for a vehicle is provided which attenuates vibration generated when an engine of the vehicle operates. The engine mount includes a main rubber body which supports a core and an inner casing which fixes the main rubber body to a housing. A nozzle plate is mounted in the inner casing and an upper membrane and a lower membrane are attached thereto. The nozzle plate includes a lower plate and an upper plate that is inserted and coupled into the lower plate. The upper membrane is attached to a top plate of the upper plate and the lower membrane is attached to a bottom plate of the lower plate.

Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing whether active engine mounts configured to isolate engine vibration from a cabin and chassis of a vehicle are functioning as desired. In one example, a method includes indicating degradation of an active engine mount by inducing degraded combustion events in a preselected engine cylinder, and operating the active engine mount in multiple modes, the indication responsive to an amount of vehicle chassis vibration during each of the modes. By monitoring chassis vibrations as a function of induced degraded combustion events, and further responsive to the active engine mounts being controlled to the multiple modes, it may be indicated as to whether the active engine mounts are functioning as desired.

According to the present invention, there is provided a vibration damping device (10) including a first bracket (11) and a second bracket (12), a first attachment member (14), a second attachment member (15), and an elastic body (16). The second attachment member (15) includes an insertion cylinder portion (22) in which the second bracket (12) is inserted. The insertion cylinder portion (22) is provided with a stopper portion (56) which faces a stopper wall (55) provided in the first bracket (11), in a radial direction (Y) in a side wall portion (57) oriented outward in the radial direction (Y) of the insertion cylinder portion (22). The stopper portion (56) includes a first stopper portion (61) and a second stopper portion (62) which are disposed in a manner of being displaced in an axial direction (X) of the insertion cylinder portion (22). The first stopper portion (61) is constituted by a first elastic portion (58). The second stopper portion (62) includes a rigid member (25). A first distance (D1) between the first stopper portion (61) and the stopper wall (55) in the radial direction (Y) is equal to or shorter than a second distance (D2) between the second stopper portion (62) and the stopper wall (55) in the radial direction (Y).

A transmission mount for a vehicle is capable of being press-fitted to a vehicle body side member with only an insulator, and without use of a bridge bracket, such that reduction in weight and cost can be achieved by eliminating the bridge bracket, and assembly workability can be improved by eliminating a bolting operation.

A fluid-filled vibration damping device including an inner member, an outer member having a tubular part, a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the two members, and a partition disposed on a radially inner side of the tubular part. An axial end portion of the main rubber elastic body is anchored to a radially inner surface of the tubular part and includes a sealing rubber. The partition includes a press-sealing face positioned at an outer peripheral edge of an axial end face thereof, and is pressed against an axial end face of the sealing rubber at the press-sealing face. A seal rib protruding axially outward from the press-sealing face of the partition is more strongly pressed against the axial end face of the sealing rubber such that a fluid-tight sealing is provided axially between the sealing rubber and the partition.

A fluid-filled vibration damping device including an inner member, an outer member having a tubular part whose radially inner surface has a quadrangular tube shape, a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the two members, and a partition having a quadrangular plate shape disposed on a radially inner side of the tubular part. An outer peripheral surface of an axial end of the main rubber elastic body is anchored to the radially inner surface of the tubular part. An annular sealing rubber pressed against an outer peripheral edge of an axial end face of the partition is provided to the axial end of the main rubber elastic body. An axis-perpendicular inside dimension and a width dimension of the sealing rubber are made larger in a diagonal direction of the radially inner surface of the tubular part than in an opposite side direction thereof.

Provided is a cylindrical antivibration device for a motor mount mounted between an electric motor for driving and support members in an automobile, the cylindrical antivibration device having an inner shaft member and an outer cylinder member which are coupled by a body rubber elastic element, in which surfaces of the inner shaft member and the outer cylinder member that face each other in a direction perpendicular to the shaft are continuously coupled over the entire circumference via the body rubber elastic element. On an axial end surface of the body rubber elastic element, an elastic protrusion, that protrudes outward in the axial direction and extends circumferentially in an intermediate portion between the facing surfaces of the inner shaft member and the outer cylinder member, is formed integrally with the body rubber elastic element.

A protrusion (54) acting as an engagement portion is provided to a root (52) of a spindle (5) to an engine. An extending portion (45) extending above the root (52) of the spindle (5) is provided to a stopper (4). An opening (46) acting as a coupler is provided to the extending portion (45). The protrusion (54) and the opening (46) engage with each other, thereby reducing the risk of the spindle (5) coming off and regulating relative displacement of an upper rigid member (2) supporting the spindle (5) inserted into the upper rigid member (2).

Provided is a vibration damping device that reduces parts cost and improves productivity. The vibration damping device includes: a mounting member (10) that is attached to a vibration source; a holder (20) that is attached to a vibration receiver; and an insulator (30) that connects the mounting member (10) with the holder (20), wherein the holder (20) has a base portion (21) to which an end of the insulator (30) is coupled and a stopper portion (22) that rises from the base portion (21), and the insulator (30) has a pair of rubber feet (31 a, 31 b) that faces each other at a distance, wherein the pair of rubber feet (31a, 31 b) defines a cavity (35) therebetween, and the base portion (21) has an opening (25) formed therein at a position corresponding to the cavity (35).

An antivibration device capable of securing a thickness dimension of a stopper rubber without changing a gap between a connecting member and a stopper wall portion. A connecting member includes a base surface and a receding surface located to recede beyond the base surface in a direction to go away from a stopper wall portion, the base surface and the receding surface face the stopper wall portion, and a stopper rubber includes an inner fitting portion at which the connecting member is internally fitted. Thus, it is possible to secure a thickness dimension of the stopper rubber without changing a gap between the connecting member and the stopper wall portion.
