Automotive anti-vibration rubber parts are extremely important components that support the weight of the chassis and power train, and function to provide maneuverability, stability, ride comfort, and noise and vibration isolation. In addition, they also need to possess satisfactory durability. In recent years, an increase in vehicle weight due to the electrification of automobiles, specifically EVs, has increased the input loads on anti-vibration rubber parts. Moreover, the characteristics of these loads have also changed due to the rotational drive of electric motors, regenerative braking, and other factors. When designing a vehicle, in advance it is necessary to set specifications that take into account the spring characteristics and durability of the anti-vibration rubber parts in order to meet functional requirements.
