Bearing / Mounting
Rubber-metal bearings and mountings as well as support elements, such as cab mounts or engine mounts, are used in commercial vehicles to effectively reduce vibrations, shocks and noise. They elastically connect the engine, cab or powertrain components to the vehicle frame and ensure that the dynamic forces generated during operation are transmitted to the vehicle structure in a damped manner. This enhances ride comfort, reduces noise exposure for the driver and minimizes mechanical stress on components. At the same time, these mounts enable safe guidance and precise positioning of the components, compensate for frame movements and load changes and protect the engine, transmission and cab from fatigue and wear damage. Overall, rubber-metal mounting elements contribute significantly to the operational reliability, durability and cost-effectiveness of commercial vehicles.
