motor mount
Vibration-dampening engine bracket
A motor mount is a bracket or housing that secures an engine or motor to a frame or chassis while absorbing vibration.
In automotive contexts, worn motor mounts cause excessive engine movement and noise: The mechanic said I need new motor mounts.
Similar mounts secure electric motors in appliances and machinery.
