Abstract

A spring-damper system for use in bearings or as a damper, in particular as a spring-damper system in active engine bearings includes a coupling device which can be coupled to a load and to a supporting device at a bearing or damping point, in order to mount the load in such a way that it can vibrate on the supporting device. The coupling device is designed to transmit a load input generated by the load substantially without loss to a spring-damper device and to absorb a reaction thereto by the spring-damper device and to feed said reaction back to the load, in order to counteract the load input in a vibration-damping fashion. In this context, the spring-damper device can be arranged and/or is arranged spatially separate from the bearing or damping point.
