Abstract
A mounting assembly (20) which includes dissimilar radial spring rates in the various radial directions by varying the socket geometry and dimensional characteristics of a receiving member (22) for accepting a standard round cross-section, center-bonded mounting (21). A reduction in spring rate in the range of between 1.25 and 2.5 times can be achieved by modifying the socket geometry to provide superior lateral vibration isolation, yet, a standard center-bonded mounting still can be utilized providing cost effective applications.
