ABSTRACT:
A fluid-filled elastic mount wherein an elastic body elastically connecting first and second supports partially defines a fluid chamber filled with a non-compressible fluid. The elastic mount includes an oscillating plate which partially defines the fluid chamber and which is displaceable to change a pressure of the fluid in the fluid chamber, and a permanent magnet disposed on one of opposite sides of the oscillating plate remote from the fluid chamber. The permanent magnet is made of a plastic magnetic material including a magnetic material and a plastic material as a binder for the magnetic material. First and second yoke members are held in contact with opposite magnetic pole faces of the magnet, and cooperate with the magnet to define a close magnetic circuit. The yoke members define therebetween an annular gap in the magnetic circuit, in which an annular moving coil is received. The coil is fixed to the oscillating plate, to oscillate the oscillating plate upon energization of the coil. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the elastic mount, in which a spacing between the yoke members is filled with the plastic magnetic material in a plasticized state, which is then solidified to provide the permanent magnet.
