Switchable Mounts
Designed for premium ride comfort, our Mounts filtration solution integrates dedicated hydraulic configurations engineered to exhibit at least two distinct dynamic behaviors. This multifunctional response enables the product to adapt to varying operational condition effectively minimizing powertrain and road-induced vibrations. With flexible material options including natural rubber formulations, metals, and plastics, it ensures superior NVH performance, long-term durability, and cost-optimized integration across all mobility platforms.
Duality adaptability
No compromise between two states
Characteristics
Structures
Function: : This fluid-filled elastomeric product is built by a Main Rubber Element (MRE), made primarily of natural rubber for its deformability properties, bonded to at least two components being metallic or composite. A glycol-type liquid is encapsulated between the MRE and an outer component. Its structure is designed to obtain at least two different states under the same excitation. The first state provides a high level of damping at a specific frequency, while the second offers low dynamic stiffness at higher frequencies. This product ensures the compliance between two vehicle structures. Tailor-made design, from cradle to grave.
