Abstract

A shaft bearing including an inner body, an outer body surrounding the inner body at a distance, and an elastomer body that elastically connects the inner body to the outer body. In embodiments, the elastomer body includes a damping device.

Claims (23)

1. A shaft bearing, comprising:

an inner body;

an outer body surrounding the inner body at a distance; and

an elastomer body that elastically connects the inner body and the outer body to each other;

wherein the elastomer body includes an absorber device, the absorber device comprising an elastomer, and the elastomer body has at least one peripherally extending fold, and the absorber device is connected to the at least one peripherally extending fold.

2. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber device comprises a single-mass oscillator.

3. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber device is connected to the elastomer body by a substance-to-substance connection.

4. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber device is connected to the elastomer body in such a way that the absorber device is disposed outside a force flow occurring in the elastomer body.

5. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber device has an annular structure connected to the elastomer body.

6. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber device has tabs connected to the elastomer body.

7. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein at least one mass member is embedded in the absorber device.

8. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer body is connected to the inner body and/or the outer body by substance-to-substance connection.

9. The shaft bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer body is connected to the inner body and the outer body non-positively.

10. A shaft bearing, comprising:

an inner body;

an outer body surrounding the inner body at a distance; and

an elastomer body that elastically connects the inner body and the outer body to each other;

wherein the elastomer body includes an absorber device, the absorber device having tabs connected to the elastomer body.

11. A shaft bearing, comprising:

an inner body;

an outer body surrounding the inner body at a distance; and

an elastomer body that elastically connects the inner body and the outer body to each other;

wherein the elastomer body includes an absorber device, and at least one mass member is embedded in the absorber device.
