An elastomeric bushing comprises an inner sleeve, an elastomeric bumper disposed around and directly engaging the inner sleeve, and an outer sleeve disposed around the inner sleeve and the elastomeric bumper. The outer sleeve is spaced apart from the inner sleeve and directly engages the elastomeric bumper. The inner sleeve includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion axially spaced apart from one another. The outer sleeve includes a radially inwardly extending indentation axially positioned between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The indentation traps a first portion of the elastomeric bumper between the first protrusion and a first surface of the indentation and also traps a second portion of the elastomeric bumper between the second protrusion and a second surface of the indentation.

A subframe mounting bush structure for improving NVH performance is provided. The subframe mounting bush structure includes an outer shell, a first bridge formed in the outer shell along a longitudinal direction, a second bridge formed in the outer shell along the longitudinal direction, a first inner shell positioned at a center of the first bridge, and a second inner shell positioned at a center of the second bridge.

A mounting bushing for a vehicle satisfies durability requirements as well as performance, such as ride comfort, handling, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction. The mounting bushing includes an inner pipe, an elastic portion surrounding an external side of the inner pipe, an intermediate pipe surrounding an external side of the elastic portion and having a cutout provided in an axial direction, and an outer pipe surrounding an external side of the intermediate pipe. The elastic portion is formed of a material having a dynamic ratio lower than a dynamic ratio of a rubber material.

Provided is a sliding bushing in which sliding of an inner shaft member with respect to a main rubber elastic body is allowed. The inner shaft member includes a bulge part provided midway in an axial direction. A braided cloth-like sliding liner is arranged between the inner shaft member and the main rubber elastic body so as to be non-adhesive and slidable with respect to the inner shaft member. In a portion of the sliding liner arranged on an outer periphery with respect to a large diameter part of the bulge part of the inner shaft member, a coarse part is provided of coarser braid mesh than a portion of the sliding liner arranged on an outer periphery with respect to a small diameter part on both axial sides of the large diameter part.

A suspension arm bushing provided in a vehicle includes coils. First magnetic viscoelastic elastomers are arranged at both ends in an axial direction of a housing, respectively, to sandwich the coils. A second magnetic viscoelastic elastomer is arranged in the housing so as to be sandwiched between the coils. A controller selectively switches directions of magnetic fields generated by the coils between the same direction and opposite directions.

A suspension for a vehicle may include: a center leaf spring; side leaf springs respectively installed on opposing sides of the center leaf spring; mounting brackets configured to connect the center leaf spring and the side leaf springs, respectively; and damper bushes mounted in the mounting brackets, respectively, and configured to absorb shock.

A bushing includes a cylindrical body and a flange extending from the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has an inner face defining a bore. The flange includes an outer rim and a face extending radially between the bore and the outer rim. At least one groove is formed in the face. The at least one groove extends from a first end intersecting the bore to a second end adjacent the outer rim such that grease supplied to the bore of the bushing is able to flow through the at least one groove.

A suspension bushing for a powertrain of an electric vehicle includes amandrel, an outer sleeve and a rubber mainspring connected between the mandrel and the outer sleeve. The rubber main spring includes multiple main parts arranged at intervals and surrounding the outer contour of the mandrel. At least one side of each of the main parts is provided with an extending part. An end surface of the extending part and an end surfaceof each main part form a stepped structure.

A composite material comprising an elastomer having ceramic platelets dispersed therein, and applications thereof including an armour system. The ceramic platelets each have a first plate surface and a second plate surface, the first and second plate surfaces being separated by a height H. The ceramic platelets each having a maximum diameter D measured in the first and second plate surfaces. The ceramic platelets have a mean height H.sub.m and a mean maximum diameter D.sub.m. The mean height H.sub.m is 0.1 to 1 μm and the ratio D.sub.m:Hm is 20 or more.

A bushing assembly for a vehicle including a first bushing with an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and interlocking teeth extending from it and a second bushing with an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and interlocking teeth extending from it. The first bushing and the second bushing are joined by their respective interlocking teeth. An inner sleeve with a first end and a second end is enclosed within the inner diameter of the first bushing and the inner diameter of the second bushing. A first compression cap on the first bushing is threadedly fastened to the inner sleeve, and a second compression cap on the second bushing is threadedly fasten to the inner sleeve.
