Abstract

A vibration eliminator or suppressor for an actuating element of a set of components or aggregate, such as the clutch arrangement of a motor vehicle. A transitional element between a wire cable or a linkage and a lever of the aggregate is constructed as a cage, wherein the lever is floatingly or swimmingly supported within the cage through a prestressed two-component rubber spring, with the lever being fixedly connected with the rubber spring, and a weight being fastened to the cage. Through the intermediary of this structure there is achieved a complete isolation of any vibrations between the clutch shift and the clutch drive train due to the rubber spring.
