Metal Bonded Rubber Center Bearing Support, Color : Black

Center support bearings are used when the driveshaft is split into two sections. It serves as a junction on the drive shaft between the transmission and the differential allowing the driveshaft to flex, relieving stress on other drive line components. Center bearing supports carry the load of the drive shaft while allowing axial and radial deflection during start-up and braking. They offer the perfect isolation of structure-borne noise and vibration by damping resonance frequency and shaft tumbling. The optimized rubber compound for acoustic isolation is also resistant to high temperatures and rotational forces. The rubber geometry can be optimized for high axial and radial displacement, constant radial stiffness and high durability. The brackets can be weight-optimized with a robust but light geometry, and different materials like steel, aluminum or even plastic can be used. Furthermore, center bearing supports can also be designed to work as a crash feature in case of accident.
