<p>A hydroelastic support, such as for use as an engine mount in a vehicle, comprises a liquid-filled working chamber (16) and a liquid-filled compensation chamber (18). The working chamber has a flexible-walled part which is flexed by the engine vibrations so as to create pressure changes within the working chamber. A control member (26) comprises a disc-shaped flexible rubber element (28) located within an aperture (27) in a rigid wall between the two chambers (16,18). The flexible element (28) flexes in response to the pressure changes in the working chamber and causes partial damping thereof. Upper and lower movement-limitation members (32,34), made of relatively rigid material, limit the flexing of the flexible element (28) in response to high amplitude vibrations. <IMAGE></p> |
