Active hydraulic damping support and active damping system including the same

摘要

The support includes two rigid armatures (2,4) connected by an elastomeric collar (6). A hydraulic working chamber (A) is fo within the damper unit within which a magnetically sensitive fluid whose relative viscosity is affected by the proportion of magnetic flux that is applied by the electromagnetic coil (21). The stiffness of the damper is therefore a function of the flux applied. An Independent claim is included for an anti-vibration system using the described mounts.
