ABSTRACT:
A fluid filled vibration damping device including: an elastic body elastically connecting a first and a second mounting member and partially defining a pressure receiving chamber filled with a non-compressible fluid and undergoing fluid pressure variation upon application of vibrational load between the first and second mounting members; a flexible diaphragm partially defining an equilibrium chamber filled with the non-compressible fluid and whose volume is variable; and an orifice passage permitting a fluid communication between the pressure-receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber. The flexible diaphragm is constituted by a rubber elastic layer having an annular thick-walled portion and a central thick-walled portion situated at a substantially central portion of an inner area surrounded by the annular thick-walled portion, while being independent of the annular thick-walled portion.
