Abstract
An elastomeric mounting suitable for providing a low frequency suspension for a road vehicle cab comprises an annular elastomeric diaphragm shaped to deform by both bending and shear over a normal working range to accommodate relative longitudinal movement between two members between which the diaphragm is located. A fluid chamber is defined by an annular space between two tubular rigid members and bonded axially by the elastomeric diaphragm and an annular seal. Fluid damping is provided in the fluid chamber, preferably by orifices contained within a buffer which restrains relative radial movement of the rigid members.
