Rubber bearing with antivibration system.U.S. patent: 7,017,890 Issued: March 28, 2006 Inventor: Martin Rechtien Assigned: ZF Lemforder Metallwaren Key statement: A vibration-damped rubber mount is provided to ensure good sliding friction (Mech.) the resistance one body meets with in sliding along the surface of another, as distinguished from rolling friction. See also: Sliding properties where an elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. ring body is provided between the inner part and the outer sleeve for vibration damping damping In physics, the restraint of vibratory motion, such as mechanical oscillations, noise, and alternating electric currents, by dissipating energy. Unless a child keeps pumping a swing, the back-and-forth motion decreases; damping by the air's friction opposes the . It is proposed that the elastomer ring body (4) is arranged radially on the outside at the inner wall of the outer sleeve (3) and radially on the inside at a sleeve-like bearing shell (5), which slidingly cooperates with the inner part (1), forming a ball-and-socket joint ball-and-socket joint, in engineering, mechanical connection used between parts that must be allowed some relative angular motion in nearly all directions. As the name implies, the joint consists essentially of a spherical knob at the end of a shaft, with the knob . |
