What is the function of the left and right engine mounts?
1 Answers
The functions of the left and right engine mounts are as follows: Supporting role: The most basic function of the mounting system is to support the powertrain. When designing the mounts, it is essential to ensure that the vehicle's powertrain is positioned correctly and that the entire mounting system has a sufficient service life. Limiting role: During transient conditions such as engine start-up, shutdown, vehicle acceleration and deceleration, as well as various interference forces (e.g., road bumps), the mounts should effectively limit the maximum displacement of the powertrain to prevent collisions with surrounding components and ensure proper powertrain operation. Vibration isolation role: As the connecting component between the chassis and the engine, the mounts must not only prevent engine vibrations from being transmitted to the vehicle body but also mitigate the impact of uneven road excitation on the powertrain.
