Abstract

A power unit bearing, in particular for motor vehicles, is characterized by mechanically integrally joining a conventional bearing, in particular a hydraulic bearing, to a connectable or disengageable hydraulic switching module for the purpose of matching the power unit characteristics to changing operational conditions of this power unit. The switching module is inserted between a chassis-side base plate of the conventional bearing body and a chassis-side adapter of the power unit bearing.
