Hydraulic Mounts-Improved Engine Isolation

Abstract

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Hydraulic mounts provide the ability to reduce the compromise between engine isolation and shake control when developing engine mounting systems. This is evident by comparing hydraulic mount properties to those of elastomeric mounts. A typical hydraulic mount and its mechanical analogy illustrate its capabilities. Results of ride studies are very promising. Packaging and processing techniques require careful consideration to initiate volume production.</div>
