Abstract

Disclosed are a vehicle mount to be installed between the body and the frame of a vehicle or the engine and the frame, and a method of manufacturing the mount. The vehicle mount includes an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve surrounding the outer face of the inner sleeve with a space in-between. A first insulation rubber is installed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve and forming an internal space in-between. The first insulation rubber has an inner sleeve insertion hole into which the inner sleeve is inserted. The first insulation rubber is contracted or expanded to attenuate external vibration and change a shape of the internal space according to an applied load. A space divider is installed in radial direction inside the internal space to divide the internal space into an upper first internal space and a lower second internal space. The space divider is provided at least one side thereof with an orifice connecting the first and second internal spaces to each other. A fluid is filled in the internal pace. The fluid flows between the first and second internal spaces depending on a difference in pressures exerted on the first and second internal spaces to attenuate external vibration. The vehicle mount provides an axial hydraulic damping effect and its axial and radial rigidities can be adjusted.
