Abstract

A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft can effectively decrease the amount of large/small displacement that occurs in the propeller shaft during driving of a vehicle. A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft includes an inner pipe; an outer pipe disposed on a common axis as the inner pipe at the outside of the inner pipe; a cushion rubber attached between the inner and outer pipes, and having a plurality of voids disposed on the common axis; and a plurality of stoppers attached to the outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe while being spaced apart from the cushion rubber at a predetermined interval.

Claims (13)

1. A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft, comprising:

an inner pipe;

an outer pipe disposed on a same axle as the inner pipe wherein the inner pipe is located inside of the outer pipe;

a cushion rubber attached between the inner and outer pipes, and having a plurality of voids disposed about a common axis wherein the plurality of voids includes an inner void and an outer void; and

a plurality of stoppers attached to an outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe while being spaced apart from the cushion rubber at a predetermined interval,

wherein the plurality of stoppers is configured with an inner stopper and an outer stopper having different diameters, and

wherein a first end portion of the inner stopper is inserted into the inner void of the cushion rubber in a state in which an inner circumferential surface of the inner stopper is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe, and a first end portion of the outer stopper is inserted into the outer void of the cushion rubber in a state in which an inner circumferential surface of the outer stopper is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe.

2. The center bearing bush unit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of voids provided in the cushion rubber are formed with an identical width.

3. The center bearing bush unit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of voids is provided with the inner void formed adjacent to an inner circumferential surface of the cushion rubber, and the outer void formed adjacent to an outer circumferential surface of the cushion rubber.

4. The center bearing bush unit of claim 1 , wherein the inner and outer stoppers are formed to have different thicknesses.

5. The center bearing bush unit of claim 1 , wherein the cushion rubber has a plurality of openings arranged in a circumferential direction thereof and extending through the plurality of voids.

6. The center bearing bush unit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner and outer stoppers has a plurality of openings arranged in a circumferential direction thereof and extending through the at least one of the inner and outer stoppers.

7. The center bearing bush unit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner and outer stoppers has a variable thickness.
