AXIAL SHEAR-LEG ISOLATOR

摘要

An elastomeric isolator has an elastomeric body which incorporates an inner structural member that extends through an outer structural member. The elastomeric body includes an axial shear leg extending between the inner and outer structural members that undergo shearing stresses during deflection of the elastomeric isolator. The inner structural member includes radial flanges which are axially offset from radial flanges of the outer structural member. The axial shear leg extends between the pair of radial flanges and is bonded to them at a position outside of the outer structural member. With this configuration compression of the shear hub during high loads is avoided.
