What is an engine mount?
1 Answers
Mounting system serves as the connection between the powertrain and the vehicle body. Its main functions include supporting the powertrain, reducing the impact of powertrain vibrations on the vehicle, and limiting the amount of powertrain shake, playing a significant role in the overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. Currently, most entry-level vehicles typically use three-point or four-point rubber mounts, while higher-end models may incorporate hydraulic mounts for better performance. Additional Information: Since the engine itself is an inherent source of vibration and is also subjected to various external vibration disturbances, which can lead to component damage and passenger discomfort, the mounting system is designed to minimize the transmission of engine vibrations to the supporting system.
