Fluidlastic™ or Viscous Cab Mounts

Fluidlastic cab mounts combine elastomeric and viscous fluid damping technology. The rubber mounts encapsulate the fluid, which flows through a variety of ports and orifices depending upon the dynamic characteristics needed. The mounts can be tuned to precisely match application requirements, resulting in lower noise, vibration and stresses in the cab. The technology performs as three mounts in one, depending upon the frequency and amplitude of the excitation. First, the mount is a spring providing basic load and motion capability to the system. Second, it’s a damper providing restricted motion at or near resonant conditions. And third, it’s a tuned absorber providing superior isolation at a specific frequency.
