Center bearing bush unit for propeller shaft
A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft can effectively decrease the amount of large/small displacement that occurs in the propeller shaft during driving of a vehicle. A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft includes an inner pipe; an outer pipe disposed on a common axis as the inner pipe at the outside of the inner pipe; a cushion rubber attached between the inner and outer pipes, and having a plurality of voids disposed on the common axis; and a plurality of stoppers attached to the outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe while being spaced apart from the cushion rubber at a predetermined interval.
Buffer stopper
A buffer stopper capable of increasing an absorbable energy amount without causing changes in characteristics due to wear of a buffer body. In order to achieve the object, the buffer body containing a rubber elastic body disposed between an end surface formed in a housing and an end surface formed in a shaft which is relatively movable in the axial direction with respect to the housing and a wear resistant sheet which is provided so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the buffer body and which can contact an inner peripheral surface of the housing by expansion and deformation in the radial direction of the buffer body are provided.
STRUT MOUNT
A strut mount includes an inner member, an outer member, and a body rubber. A stopper rubber which protrudes outward in an axial direction is disposed on the body rubber. The outer member includes a supporting portion which covers the stopper rubber from outside thereof in the axial direction. The stopper rubber includes a pedestal protrusion portion which protrudes outward in the axial direction from the inner member and a tip protrusion portion which protrudes outward in the axial direction from the pedestal protrusion portion, contacts the supporting portion, and has an elasticity in the axial direction lower than that of the pedestal protrusion portion. The pedestal protrusion portion and the tip protrusion portion taper outward in the axial direction.
BEARING UNIT FOR A SUSPENSION STRUT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A BEARING UNIT ON A MOTOR VEHICLE BODY PART
A bearing unit (1) for a suspension strut (2) of a motor vehicle (3), has at least the following components: a guide ring (4) having a guide axis (5) for a wheel spring (6); a cap (7) with a damper holder (8) for a damper block (9); a bumpstop holder (10) for a bumpstop (11); an axial bearing (12) with a bearing pitch circle (13) for supporting the guide ring (4) on the cap (7) and for low-friction rotation about the guide axis (5) relative to the cap (7). The bumpstop holder (10) is formed integrally by the cap (7).
DEVICE FOR STORING AT LEAST ONE COMPONENT IN A VEHICLE AND VEHICLE OR VEHICLE ELEMENT COMPRISING THIS DEVICE
A device for supporting a component in a vehicle including a support part having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a retaining part at the second end portion for connection to a damping element; a bearing mounting for receiving the component, which has a connection area for connection to a stop element and is arranged a distance from the support part in a radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis a stop element arranged in the radial direction between the load receptacle and support part, fixed to the connecting portion and comprising a stop surface facing the support part; and a damping element for damping vibrations, fixed to the stop element and support part. In embodiments, the stop element is supported by the damping element movably with respect to the support part in the radial direction and an axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis.
BEARING, OUTER SLEEVE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BEARING
A bearing (1) is provided, comprising an inner sleeve (6), an outer sleeve (2), and an elastomer body (24), which resiliently interconnects the inner sleeve (6) and the outer sleeve (2), wherein the outer sleeve (2) comprises a circumferential portion (8) and at least one deformation portion (10) that is recessed radially inwards from the circumferential portion (8), and wherein the deformation portion (10) comprises a support-surface portion (12) arranged so as to be offset radially inwards relative to the circumferential portion (8) of the outer sleeve (2), wherein the support-surface portion (12) extends substantially perpendicularly to the radial direction (Ra). A method for producing a bearing is also provided.
TUBULAR ANTIVIBRATION DEVICE
A tubular antivibration device includes an inner axial member and an outer tubular member that are joined by an elastic rubber main body. The inner axial member is provided with a pair of groove-shaped recesses that open on the outer peripheral surface on both sides in the lateral direction and extend in the vertical direction, and the elastic rubber main body is integrally provided with a pair of upper and lower first elastic joining parts that join the vertically opposing surfaces of the inner axial member and the outer tubular member to each other on both sides in the vertical direction and a pair of left and right second elastic joining parts that join the vertically opposing surfaces of the outer tubular member to each other through the pair of groove-shaped recesses of the inner axial member.
Articulating element for filtering and damping vibrations and articulating device
The invention relates to an articulation (1) for damping vibrations between an inner mechanical element and an outer mechanical element, comprising a rigid inner reinforcement (2), a rigid outer reinforcement (3), and a ring (4) made of at least one vibration damping elastomer material, which ring radially extends around the axial direction (X) between the inner reinforcement (2) and the outer reinforcement (3). The invention is characterized in that the first side flank (41) of the ring (4) comprises a first ring portion (51, 52) defined by a first surface (411, 412) and a second ring portion (53, 54) defined by a second surface (413, 414), which are diametrically opposed in relation to the axial direction (X) and which have, in the axial direction (X), respectively a first axial elevation (X1, X2) and a second axial elevation (X3, X4), which is higher than the first axial elevation (X1, X2).
Elastic articulation
An elastic articulation comprising a first sleeve and a second sleeve is provided. The first sleeve and the second sleeve each include a respective outer armature, a respective inner armature, and a respective elastic body between their respective outer and inner armatures. The elastic articulation also comprises a ring longitudinally connecting the first sleeve and the second sleeve. The ring forms a radial stop between the inner armature and the outer armature of the first sleeve, and between the inner armature and the outer armature of the second sleeve. The elastic articulation improves damping control in different directions.
TUBULAR VIBRATION-DAMPING DEVICE
A tubular vibration-damping device including an inner shaft member and an outer tube member connected by a main rubber elastic body. The outer tube member is configured to be slidably inserted in an attachment tube in an axial direction, and is circumferentially divided so as to be radially deformable or displaceable. A pair of tighteners are disposed on axially opposite sides of the main rubber elastic body. The main rubber elastic body is fastened to an inner circumferential surface of the outer tube member. An adjustment elastic body against which the tighteners are pressed is integrally formed with axially opposite side portions of the main rubber elastic body. Sliding resistance in the axial direction between an outer circumferential surface of the outer tube member and an inner circumferential surface of the attachment tube is settable depending on a pressing force of the tighteners against the adjustment elastic body.
