Vibration control bush
To provide a vibration control bush that ensures improved durability of a rubber elastic body. An inner pipe film portion of the vibration control has an inclined surface whose inclination angle θ with respect to an axis O direction is set to one degree or more and less than three degrees, and the inner pipe film portion has an end portion in the axis O direction whose thickness dimension is set to a quarter or less of a dimension in an axis O perpendicular direction from an outer peripheral surface of an inner pipe to an apex of the protruding portion. This ensures reducing a rubber elastic body to deform so as to bend (close contact) between the inner pipe film portion and the outer pipe film portion when a load in a wrenching direction is input. Accordingly, a durability of the rubber elastic body can be improved.
Stabilizer bush
Provided is a stabilizer bush that ensures improved durability. The stabilizer bush (10) comprises: a bush main body (11) formed from a tubular elastic body having a retention hole (12) through which the stabilizer bar (2) passes; a rigid body portion (14) that is fixed to the bush main body (11) and has a higher rigidity than the bush main body (11); and an elastic film (16) that comprises an elastic body and is in contact with a second surface (14b) of the rigid body portion (14). A part of the elastic film (16) is fitted into depressed portions (15a, 15b) that are depressed from the second surface (14b) to a first surface (14a) side.
Elastomeric bearing having reduced-weight end cap
An elastomeric bearing includes a first race having an axis of rotation, a second race coaxially arranged relative to the first race and spaced from the first race by a gap, a bearing body in the gap connecting the first race to the second race, the bearing body comprising a plurality of first laminae coaxial with the first race and a plurality of second laminae coaxial with the first race, the first laminae being formed from a different material than the second laminae, and a metal end cap connected to the first race or to the second race. The metal end cap includes an at least partially hollow interior and/or is formed by an additive manufacturing process.
Switchable bearing bushing for a motor vehicle
A bearing bushing for a motor vehicle includes a sleeve, a bolt arranged inside the sleeve, and at least one elastomer element arranged radially between the sleeve and the bolt for supporting the bolt in the sleeve in a damping manner. The bolt has a ball element axially between two distal ends, wherein the ball element interacts with at least two movable ball socket elements in order to change the stiffness of the bearing bushing. This allows the bearing bushing can be switched between at least two stiffness levels.
VIBRATION ABSORBER BUSH AND INNER TUBE ABSORBER HAVING SUCH A VIBRATION ABSORBER BUSH
A vibration absorber bush for an inner tube absorber for absorbing torsional and flexural vibrations, for the coaxial assembly in a hollow shaft which is penetrated by a central longitudinal axis includes at least one largely cylindrical first elastic element and a largely cylindrical second elastic element which are in each case disposed to be coaxial with the longitudinal axis and to be mutually adjacent in the radial direction. In embodiments, a reinforcement element is disposed between the elastic elements.
Elastic mount
An elastic mount for absorbing static and dynamic loads includes an inner part, an outer part, and at least one elastomer mount that elastically connects the parts. The elastomer mount transfers from a first position to a second position when absorbing a static load acting in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the mount, and may have a first elastomer body, second elastomer body, and an intermediate element arranged between the two elastomer bodies. The intermediate element may have a first connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the first elastomer body is soft in shear in the Z-direction, and rigid in the X-direction and/or the Y-direction; and a second connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the second elastomer body is soft in shear in the X-direction and/or in the Y-direction and rigid in the Z-direction.
Railroad vehicle with fire retardant anti-vibration device
The invention relates to an anti-vibration device (100), for example intended for a railroad application, comprising: a first frame (10), a second frame (20), a shock absorbing structure (30) for the vibrations, situated between the two frames (10, 20), and at least one fire barrier layer (40) at least partially covering the shock absorbing structure (30);
characterized in that said at least one fire barrier layer (40) is a polychloroprene-based elastomer including at least one fire retardance agent chosen from among alumina trihydrate or magnesium hydroxide.
Vibration-damping device
An object of the present invention is to provide a vibration-damping device which enhances the durability of a rubber elastic body; and inhibits the occurrence of voids in an outer cylinder. The vibration-damping device includes: an inner cylinder; a resin-made outer cylinder arranged outside the inner cylinder in a radial direction of the outer cylinder; and a rubber elastic body connecting the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.
Vibration control bush
Provided is a vibration control bush configured to improve durability of a rubber elastic body. The vibration control bush includes: a shaft member that includes a spherical convex portion; a tubular member that is arranged on a radially outer side of the shaft member; and a rubber elastic body that joins the tubular member and the shaft member. The rubber elastic body is joined to a first portion and a second portion of the tubular member. The first portion is positioned on the radially outer side of the convex portion, and the diameter of the inner circumferential face gradually decreases axially outward from the center. The second portion is positioned on the axially outer side with respect to the first portion, and the diameter of the inner circumferential face gradually increases axially outward.
ELASTIC MOUNT
An elastic mount for absorbing static and dynamic loads includes an inner part, an outer part, and at least one elastomer mount that elastically connects the parts. The elastomer mount transfers from a first position to a second position when absorbing a static load acting in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the mount, and may have a first elastomer body, second elastomer body, and an intermediate element arranged between the two elastomer bodies. The intermediate element may have a first connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the first elastomer body is soft in shear in the Z-direction, and rigid in the X-direction and/or the Y-direction; and a second connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the second elastomer body is soft in shear in the X-direction and/or in the Y-direction and rigid in the Z-direction.
