The diaphragm transfer device is provided with: a placing table on which the diaphragm is placed in such an orientation that the first protrusion faces downward; and a suction pad that sucks the diaphragm, placed on the placing table, from above on the outer circumferential side of the protrusion. The placing table includes an annular pedestal facing an outer-circumferential-side thick portion of the diaphragm, the thick portion being sucked by the suction pad, and a second recess recessed downward on the inner diameter side of the pedestal. The whole first protrusion of the diaphragm is located inside the second recess in a top view.

Hydraulic mount assembly and a powertrain that utilizes the hydraulic mount assembly

A hydraulic mount assembly includes a mount body defining a cavity. A powertrain includes a dynamic mass, and a structure that supports the dynamic mass. The assembly is attached to the structure and supports the dynamic mass. A first plate is fixed relative to the mount body inside the cavity to separate the cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first plate defines a plurality of first passages that fluidly connects the first and second chambers. A decoupler is disposed between the first and second chambers. An actuator is coupled to the first plate. The decoupler is movable in response to actuation of the actuator. The decoupler abuts the first plate when in a locked position to prevent fluid communication through the first passages. The decoupler is movable relative to the first plate when in an unlocked position to allow fluid communication through the first passages.
