Abstract

In the case of a shearing element that can be used as an engine mounting in a motor vehicle, an elastic damping body that is developed in the way of a rubber--metal mounting and a shearing unit are provided in a mechanical parallel connection for supporting the engine at the body. It is their purpose to avoid, in the natural-vibration range of the mounting--mass system, an excessive increase of the amplitudes in the case of a resonance.
