Fluid filled elastomeric damping device

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract, A fluid filled engine mount for absorbing shock and dampening structural agitation is provided in which an elastomeric diaphragm and an associated air chamber cooperate with a fluid filled chamber to allow high frequency, low amplitude structural agitation to the mount to occur with very little pressure developing in the fluid chambers and, accordingly, a slight damping response. The fluid chambers are included within an elastomeric shear spring spacing a rigid outer housing including the diaphragm and air chamber from a rigid inner member. The housing and inner rigid member are typically associated with an engine frame and engine respectively. The diaphragm is restrained against …
