The invention relates to an assembly comprising a bushing with a center line L, having an inner sleeve with a mounting bore, an outer sleeve and an elastomeric spring member extending along a height H along the center line L. In one embodiment, the outer surface of the inner sleeve, the spring member and the inner surface of the outer sleeve are on each side of the center line L substantially parallel. On at least one side of the longitudinal center line L, the outer surface of the inner sleeve, the spring member and the inner surface of the outer sleeve extend at an angle to the center line L. An outer surface of the outer sleeve is substantially parallel to the center line L along the height H. Another embodiment of an assembly according to the invention comprises a bushing with a mounting bore that extends at an angle to the center line L. The bushing according to the invention is compact, can be easily manufactured and assembled, take up a high load and can be adjusted to the direction along which forces act on the bushing.

A vehicular motor mount made of a motor mount assembly and a frame mount assembly made of four components: a base plate, a capture ring, a post and a bushing. The post mechanically connects directly to the engine mount bracket and the base plate directly connects to the subframe of the vehicle. The polymer bushing is bonded directly to the post. The concave capture ring is directly connected to the base plate forming a capture housing with a cavity wherein the post and bushing of the motor mount assembly are constrained but not directly connected to the base plate or capture ring of the frame mount assembly. With no direct connection between the two assemblies, the engine is not directly connected to the subframe. This improves vehicle's ride. The bushing and the capture ring are common to all vehicular motor mounts. The motor mount may be replaced in pieces rather than in its entirety.

An agricultural vehicle including a supporting structure and a coupling system connected to the supporting structure for the movable coupling of a vehicle cab to the supporting structure. The coupling system includes at least one spring-elastic bearing element. The vehicle cab releasably connects via at least one clamping element to the at least one spring-elastic bearing element. A clamping force direction of the clamping element runs transversely to a vehicle vertical axis in a transverse direction.

An isolator mount system includes multiple isolator mounts that are used to isolate a piece of equipment from a structure. The isolation mounts each include an isolation pad between inner and outer mountings, to provide damping between relative motions of the inner mounting and the outer mounting. A central portion of the isolation pad is closer to a central axis of the isolation mount than are ends of the isolation pad that are on opposite sides of the central portion. This configuration provides two shear sections, to provide additional damping, an additional amount of shear in the isolator mounts. The shear sections may be configured to control location of the center of elasticity of the system, for example by locating the center of elasticity at the same location as the center of gravity of the system, thereby resulting in an isoelastic system.

The present invention relates to a bearing arrangement for a driver's cab (12) of a vehicle, which bearing arrangement is, in a mounted state, arranged between the driver's cab (12) and a cab support (16) of the vehicle, having a cone bearing (14) which, centrally, has a bearing sleeve (34) which is fixable to the driver's cab (12) and which extends through an opening (38) of the cab support (16) and which is of hollow form, wherein the bearing sleeve (34) is, at the outside, by way of an elastic damping element (22) connected thereto, connected to a concentrically arranged support element (24), wherein the support element (24) is fixable to the cab support (16) at the cab side by way of connecting elements (26), and having an abutment element (30) which is arranged on an end, averted from the driver's cab (12), of the bearing sleeve (34) and which serves for limiting a movement of the damping element (22) in an axial direction (A). The bearing arrangement is characterized in that an installation element (30) is arranged on a side, facing toward the abutment element (30), of the cab support (16), which installation element is, by way of the connecting elements (26), fastened to the cab support (16) concentrically with respect to the bearing sleeve (34).

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.

Novel elastic torsion stop components based on multilayer elastomer metal elements in cylindrical, conical, or spherical shape. The elastic torsion stop components are particularly suitable for use as maintenance-free and low-wear joints having a large angular spread, for example in vibration absorbers, such as in pendulum vibration absorbers for wind turbines.
