A pendulum support is particularly suited for supporting an engine unit. The support has two mutually spaced-apart fixing elements for connecting two bodies that can be displaced in relation to one another. The fixing elements are elastically interconnected. The object is to provide a pendulum support with a high degree of deflection that is cost-effective to produce. The base body has two base body elements, which are interconnected by at least one elastic shear element. At least one of the base body elements is formed with a cavity, wherein one area of the other base body element is contained with a degree of deflection.

Pendulum mount

A pneumatically damping mount, in particular an engine mount for motor vehicles, includes a bearing spring of elastomeric material for supporting a mount core and delimiting a working chamber. The working chamber is filled with a gas, in particular air, and communicates with the ambient atmosphere through a nozzle opening. A progression element of elastomeric material is disposed opposite the bearing spring and delimits the working chamber together with the bearing spring, to enable further deformation of the mount after closing of the working chamber.
