Zusammenfassung:A resilient bushing is composed of inner and outer rigid concentric sleeves and a molded elastomeric insert radially compressed therebetween, said insert containing a pair of recesses that cooperate with the outer sleeve to form fluid-containing reservoirs or pockets. The reservoirs contain a fluid such as silicone oil and are in fluid communication with one another through a suitable tube or orifice. When the bushing is deflected in a radial direction through the pockets, the fluid provides high damping in that radial direction for increased vibration isolation. Various types of orifices or tubes can be used to vary the damping properties of the bushing.
