DESCRIPTION
Convoluted air springs are made with single, double or triple
bellows and are used in a variety of applications and suspensions.
These air bags are found on all types of trucks, trailers, and
industrial applications. They are available with a wide variety of
load capacities, ride heights and mounting top and bottom plates.
Air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an
electric or engine-driven air pump or compressor. This compressor
pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from
textile-reinforced rubber. Unlike suspension, which offers many
similar features, air suspension does not use pressurized liquid,
but pressurized air. The air pressure inflates the bellows, and
raises the chassis from the axle.
Air suspension is used in place of conventional steel springs in
heavy vehicle applications such as busesand trucks, and in some
passenger cars. It is widely used on semi trailer and train
(primarily passenger train).
The purpose of air suspension is to provide a smooth, constant ride
quality, but in some cases is used for sports suspension. Modern
electronically controlled systems in automobiles and light trucks
almost always feature self-levelingalong with raising and lowering
functions. Although traditionally called air bags or air bellows,
the correct term is air spring (although these terms are also used
to describe just the rubber bellows element with its end plates).
