Electromagnetically Levitated Engine Mount

In the evolving landscape of the automotive industry, enhancing passenger comfort and ride quality has become a key differentiator for manufacturers. While suspension systems have traditionally received significant attention, powertrain isolation through engine mounts plays an equally critical role in controlling noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Engine mounts are not only responsible for supporting the powertrain’s weight but also for mitigating the transmission of unbalanced engine forces to the vehicle body. Modern engine mount designs aim to eliminate any metal-to-metal contact between the powertrain and chassis, thereby achieving optimal vibration isolation. This study proposes a refined approach to completely decouple the powertrain from the vehicle structure, ensuring minimal vibration transfer and thereby extending the operational life and performance of the engine mount system.
