Top Mount

The Top Mount, also referred to as a strut mount, is a critical component in the suspension system of modern vehicles. It is located at the top of the suspension strut and connects the strut assembly to the vehicle’s chassis. The primary function of the top mount is to provide a stable pivot point for the strut while absorbing and isolating vibrations and impacts from the road. In addition to supporting the vehicle’s suspension system, top mounts also play a crucial role in the steering system, allowing the strut to rotate smoothly as the wheels turn.

Top mounts are designed to manage the vertical forces caused by road irregularities and the rotational forces involved in steering. To achieve this, they are often constructed with high-quality rubber and metal. The rubber element in the mount absorbs vibrations, minimizing the amount of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) transmitted into the cabin. Some top mounts also feature a built-in bearing, which allows the suspension strut to rotate with minimal friction, enhancing the precision of the steering and improving the overall driving experience.

At Premier Seals, our top mounts are designed and manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring superior durability, performance, and comfort. Our expertise in materials science and engineering allows us to create top mounts that provide excellent vibration isolation and long-lasting reliability, even under the most demanding conditions. We collaborate with OEMs to develop custom-fit solutions that meet the specific requirements of different vehicle models, ensuring optimal integration and performance.

WHAT ARE CENTER SUPPORT BEARINGS?

A center support bearing is an NVH isolating and damping component for the power train. It carries the load of the driveshaft and accommodates axial and radial deflection that takes place when a starts-up and while braking. An effective solution to isolate and damp the noise and vibration that is transferred to the vehicle’s structure by the tumbling of the drive shaft. The component includes a rubber compound that is developed for acoustic isolation. This rubber compound is resistant to high temperatures and is able to withstand continuous rotational forces. The rubber is bonded to metal to create the centre bearing. Premier seals is a reputed manufacturer of rubber bonded to metal items. Along with centre bearing rubber we also manufacture other components like anti-vibration mounts, TVDs, flexible couplings, and more. Contact us to learn more about our product catalog.

WHY THE RIGHT COMPONENTS ARE IMPORTANT

Noise, vibration, and harshness play a key role in how the quality of a vehicle is perceived. It is not about eliminating all noise and vibration but about optimizing what noise and vibrations users feel. The components used in the power train have a direct impact on the NVH performance of a vehicle. Automotive manufacturers must ensure they select the right components for their vehicles. The use of components with internal damping properties is increasing. In this highly competitive sector, even small advantages in performance can have a big impact on sales and perception. At Premier Seals we work with our clients from the design stage to ensure the highest levels of performance and quality. We provide recommendations and improvements before the design freeze, before moving to development and manufacture.
