Electromagnetic semi-active hydraulic engine mount (HEM) with double inertia tracks can realize the opening and closing of the inertia tracks through the control of electromagnetic actuator, so as to meet the needs of vibration isolation in different working conditions, but the cost is high. In this paper, without using electromagnetic actuator, a mechanical semi-active HEM with double inertia tracks is designed and manufactured with simple structure and low cost. In this study, the feature of mechanical semi-active HEM with double inertia tracks is that a baffle-current limiting column structure is added in the inertia track. Under different excitation amplitudes, the baffle-current limiting column structure can open and close the inertia track passively. Several mechanical semi-active HEM with double-inertia tracks samples and conventional inertia tracks HEM samples are manufactured and the dynamic characteristics of these samples under low frequency excitation are tested.
