METHOD OF SETTING POWER PLANT IN ENGINE SECTION OF VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: automotive industry. SUBSTANCE: power plant is set and secured inside the engine section. Idle spaces are defined in flexible members of reactive ties. The power plant is fixed in horizontal plane by way of the reactive ties on both sides of the horizontal plane passing through the gravity center of the power plant. Load on the reactive ties exerted by weight of the power plant are distributed uniformly. For this purpose the flexible members of the first reactive tie is preliminary deformed by way of inserting the calibrated mandrel in the idle space. The remainder reactive ties are then mounted and the calibrated mandrel is removed from the idle space to relieve deformation in the flexible members. EFFECT: simplified method. 4 dwg
