Abstract
A conical mount includes a housing defining an axis of rotation, a base member enclosed within the housing, a main rubber element coupled to the base member and enclosed within the housing, an upper metal portion positioned within the housing such that the main rubber element is positioned between the base member and upper metal portion, a radial snubber extending circumferentially around the upper metal portion, and a bearing assembly coupled with the radial snubber and positioned between the radial snubber and the upper metal portion. The bearing assembly enables the radial snubber to rotate freely about the axis of rotation to reduce a tangential load on the radial snubber.
