Abstract

See full text

A mount assembly for vibration isolation or an engine includes a housing having first and second fluid chambers that are selectively connected through an elongated, first path, and a shorter, second path. A decoupler is received in the housing, and an inductive sensor assembly senses a position of the decoupler. An associated method of inductively sensing a decoupler position to improve switchable mount performance is provided. Metallic particles or a metal inserts are provided in the decoupler to cooperate with an induction coil mounted adjacent the decoupler.
