An annular resilient body of fiber composite material for vibration-insulating support of drive assemblies includes at least one wound body having a circumferential direction and a loading direction. The at least one wound body includes a plurality of wound concentric layers formed of synthetic resin impregnated fibers extending in the circumferential direction and transverse to the load direction, and at least one layer of fibers extending at an angle relative to the concentric layers. Force-inducing fastening elements are disposed on two opposite sides of the at least one wound body. The fastening elements are formed of metal brackets at least partly encompassing the at least one wound body and elastic rubber layers bracing the metal brackets against the at least one wound body.

A bearing for the elastic support of machines includes a rigid fiber-reinforced plastic frame having a primatic cross section and upper, lower and lateral frame walls. Rubber cushions are each vulcanized onto a respective one of the lateral walls and symmetrically disposed relative to each another. A carrier supports the rubber cushions. A retaining bolt for a machine passes through the upper frame wall. The retaining bolt has an enlarged base and an outer surface disposed in the frame. Plastic material uniformly coats the outer surface of the retaining bolt inside the frame. Vertical supporting walls supported on the enlarged base support the retaining bolt against forces tending to pull the retaining bolt out of the frame.

Bearing for elastic support of machines

A support ring assembly includes a support ring formed of synthetic material to be fastened on a shaft for a balancer of torsional vibrations, the support ring having lateral surfaces and a plurality of openings formed therein, and a plurality of metal fastening bushings disposed in the openings, the bushings having end surfaces aligned with the lateral surfaces, and the bushings including devices for locking the bushings into the support ring.
