This configuration enables the rubber to be loaded in both shear and compression with the majority of engine rotational flexibility being carried out in shear. Vertical deflection due to body pitch when accelerating or braking is absorbed mostly in compression. Vertical elastic stiffness may be increased without greatly effecting engine roll flexibility by having metal spacer interleafs bonded into the rubber. Double inclined wedge with longitudinal control mounting (Fig. 1.18(d)) Where heavy vertical loads and large rotational reactions are to be absorbed, double inclined wedge mounts positioned 22...
