Abstract

A motor vehicle mount includes a mount receptacle and a central longitudinal axis. The mount receptacle has a receiving eye with a first conical inner surface portion, and a plastics collar outer sleeve. The plastics collar outer sleeve may include a collar that bears, in the installed state, around the receiving eye, a core, and an elastomer body arranged between the plastics collar outer sleeve and the core. The plastics collar outer sleeve may have an outer contour substantially complementary to the first conical inner surface portion. The first conical inner surface portion may taper, from a side facing away from the collar, toward the collar. The first conical inner surface portion may form a conical undercut, and the plastics collar outer sleeve may be secured against sliding out as to the central longitudinal axis in a first direction by the collar, and in a second direction by the undercut.

Abstract

A rubber mixture includes natural rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, synthetic polyisoprene or ethylene-propylene-diene rubber or a blend of two or more types of rubber, filler, crosslinking system and recycled rubber particles. The recycled rubber particles may be biotechnologically modified. The addition of the modified rubber particles can improve the physical properties of rubber mixtures and the lifetime of engine mounts or bushings. The biotechnical processing of the vulcanized rubber and the use of the high-quality modified rubber particles in new mixtures can distinctly reduce the amount of waste and the amount of CO2 emitted by virtue of the use of recyclate and can increase the proportion of recycled material in the product. The disclosure further provides for the use of rubber mixtures for industrial rubber products, such as engine mounts and bushings.

Abstract

The invention relates to an air spring module having an air spring and a shock absorber for the suspension and damping of vibrations of a motor vehicle chassis. The air spring has a rolling bellows which is fastened to an air spring cover and a rolling piston. The rolling bellows at least partially delimits a first working space filled with compressed air. At least two working spaces are provided in the rolling piston, which are separated from one another by a partition and connectable to the first working space via switchable valves arranged in the rolling piston. In order to achieve simple production and installation as well as a low overall height, the rolling piston has at least two working spaces which are arranged adjacent to one another.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

A shaft bearing for supporting a shaft of a motor vehicle includes an inner sleeve, an outer body surrounding the inner sleeve while forming a gap, and an elastomer body elastically connecting the inner sleeve and the outer body. The inner sleeve may have a first rolling surface facing towards the elastomer body and against which a first rolling section of the elastomer body abuts. The outer body may have a second rolling surface facing towards the elastomer body and against which a second rolling section of the elastomer body abuts. The two rolling sections may be connected to each other via a fold having a free length. During movement of the inner sleeve relative to the elastomer body and/or the outer body relative to the inner sleeve, the rolling sections may roll the same distance on the rolling surfaces, so that the free length of the fold remains unchanged.
