A bearing assembly for supporting a unit of a motor vehicle on a structural component of the motor vehicle includes four bearings with an elastic center. The four bearings are arranged on the structural component of the motor vehicle such that the elastic centers of the bearings together define a two-dimensional surface on which the center of mass of the unit to be supported is located.

Bearing assembly for supporting a unit of a motor vehicle on a structural component of the motor vehicle

A bearing assembly for supporting a unit of a motor vehicle includes at least two first bearings, each of which has a line and an attachment element. Each of the lines is attached to a line attachment point on the unit. The lines are fixed to a structural component of the motor vehicle by means of the attachment elements, and each of the first bearings has a respective bearing rigidity such that forces produced by the rotation of the unit and introduced into the structural component of the vehicle via the first bearings cancel each other out.

A method for controlling a drivetrain of a vehicle during a shift process is described. The drivetrain includes a drive engine which is connected via a bow spring dual-mass flywheel to a transmission which can be uncoupled by way of a clutch. The bow spring dual-mass flywheel includes a bow spring which is arranged in a bow spring channel. The method includes detecting that the clutch is closed within the scope of a shift process. Furthermore, the method includes generating a torque intervention at the bow spring dual-mass flywheel independently of a torque request by a driver of the vehicle, in such a way that the bow spring is arranged on the same side of the bow spring dual-mass flywheel after the closing of the clutch as before the opening of the clutch.
