ABSTRACT:
An engine mounting arrangement includes a laminated elastomeric member interposed between an engine mounting bracket and a cross member of the vehicle frame for supporting the front end of the engine. The laminated elastomeric member is composed of a plurality of horizontally extending sheets of elastomeric material and a plurality of metal sheets, the sheets of elastomeric material and the metal sheets being arranged in alternating order to form the laminated structure. The elastomeric material employed is relatively soft so as to effectively reduce the transmission of low frequency vibrations associated with the operation of heavy duty engines at low speeds. To limit lateral movement of the engine during vehicle turns or extreme articulations, the mounting arrangement includes a support member for the laminated elastomeric member, the support member being mounted on the cross member of the vehicle frame. This support member includes upwardly extending legs at the ends thereof and stops including elastomeric material are secured to the legs in alignment with the ends of the laminated elastomeric member.
