Hydraulic bearing
A hydraulic bearing includes a supporting bearing, a bearing base, and an annular spring element of elastomeric material interconnecting the supporting base and the bearing base. A working chamber and a compensating chamber are bounded by the supporting bearing and bearing base and filled with damping fluid. A partition having an opening separates the working chamber from the compensating chamber. The opening connects the working chamber and the compensating chamber in a fluid-conducting manner. An annular stop is disposed in the working chamber and is movable relative to the supporting bearing in an axial direction. An inner peripheral edge of the annular stop is received in a receiving portion of the supporting bearing. A ratio of a thickness of the inner peripheral edge in the axial direction and a height of the receiving portion in the axial direction is 0.5 to 1.

8. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 4 , wherein the bottom provides an axially extending guide for the stop.
9. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein the supporting body includes a bead-shaped enlargement at the inner peripheral edge.
10. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 9 , wherein the annular spring element has a hollow cone shape.
11. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 4 , wherein a diameter ratio of a diameter of the bottom and a diameter of the inner peripheral edge is 0.7 to 1.
12. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 11 , wherein the diameter ratio is 0.8 to 0.95.
13. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein a thickness ratio of a thickness of the jacket to a thickness of the supporting body is 0.1 to 0.5.
14. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein the supporting body includes at least one of sheet metal and a polymeric material.
15. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein the supporting body includes an outer peripheral edge and wherein the inner peripheral edge and the outer peripheral edge are each deformed in a same axial direction.
16. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 15 , wherein the same axial direction is toward the partition.
17. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein the stiffening corrugations are curved forward toward the spring element.
18. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein a boundary wall of the working chamber surrounds an outer peripheral edge of the stop at a radial distance so as to form an annular gap for allowing a flow of the damping fluid through the gap.
19. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein the stop has a flange extending radially for limiting extreme axial deflections of the stop.
20. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 19 , wherein the flange and the annular spring element have a radial overlap larger than a radial component of an annular gap.
21. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 1 , wherein the partition includes a nozzle cage having an upper part and a lower part and an elastic membrane disposed between the upper part and the lower part, the elastic membrane being capable of vibrating so as to isolate higher-frequency, small-amplitude vibrations.
22. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 21 , wherein the partition includes a sealing bead between the upper part and the lower part for grasping the membrane, the upper part and lower part being locally recessed up to the sealing bead.
23. The hydraulic bearing as recited in claim 21 , wherein the opening provides a damping conduit surrounding an outer circumference of the membrane and axially bounded by the upper part and the lower part.
24. A hydraulic bearing having a bearing axis, comprising:
a supporting bearing having a receiving portion;
a bearing base;
an annular spring element of elastomeric material interconnecting the supporting bearing and the bearing base;
