Fluid-filled elastic mount having oscillating plate driven by

Abstract

A fluid-filled elastic mount including an elastic body which elastically connects inner and outer support members and partially defines a fluid chamber, an oscillating plate partially defining the fluid chamber and supported by the inner support member, and an electromagnetic drive device having an inner yoke member fixed to the oscillating plate, an annular outer yoke member fixed to the outer support member, a moving permanent magnet fixed to the inner yoke member and cooperating with the yoke members to define a closed magnetic circuit, and an annular stationary coil which is disposed in an annular magnetic gap in the closed magnetic circuit and which is fixed to the outer yoke member, so that the moving permanent magnet is displaced together with the inner yoke member to thereby oscillate the oscillating plate upon energization of the annular stationary coil, while heat generated by the coil is dissipated through the outer yoke.
