How Polyurethane Revolutionized Motor Mount Construction To give drivers and passengers a more enjoyable experience, automakers have embraced polyurethane in vehicle construction. One of these areas is motor mount construction.
In the Beginning: Early Motor Mounts • First cars used metallic mounting systems made of iron or steel • Caused intense vibration and jarring riding experience • Rubber saw some success • By the turn of the century, polyurethane had taken over
Polyurethane Motor Mounts in the Automotive Industry • Soft urethane mounts reduced unnecessary vibrations • New advances in polyurethane created smooth, quiet rides we know today • Polyurethane is used in electric cars too
Polyurethane is the Quiet Hero • Engines used in power generation have seen benefits from polyurethane • Modern backup electricity generators need to have minimal noise and vibration
Need for Soft Engine Mounts • In auto racing, soft engine mounts are more susceptible to torquing stress; causes power loss • To help, companies have developed hard, low rebound mounts that minimize stress
Polyurethane has become a valuable asset to automakers. Cars will continue to become quieter and ride smoother thanks to advancements in polyurethane. https://goturethane.com/how-polyurethane-revolutionized-motor-mount-construction/
