Abstract

Vibration isolators are provided that include a shaft, a first bushing, a second bushing, a first outer annular member, a second outer annular member, a first elastomeric member, a second elastomeric member, and a shim. The first elastomeric member is adapted to provide a first stiffness for damping a first vibration, and the second elastomeric member is adapted to provide a second stiffness for damping a second vibration, the second stiffness being greater than the first stiffness.
