Air springs, originating in the mid-19th century for mechanical equipment vibration damping, have become widely used in modern vehicles and industrial machinery due to their numerous advantages.

An air spring uses compressed air (or water) as a medium, utilizing the reaction force of the compressed air as an elastic restoring force. It is a non-metallic spring with spring-like properties, available as rubber springs and composite rubber springs.

• Low elastic modulus with significant elastic deformation under load
• Excellent impact and vibration absorption capabilities
• Can withstand multi-directional loads simultaneously
• Superior vibration damping with small resonance range
• Long service life and cost-effective
• Excellent cold resistance, airtightness, waterproofing, and electrical insulation
• Ideal choice for vibration damping applications

• Combination of metal helical spring and outer vulcanized rubber layer
• Combines advantages of both metal and rubber springs
• Overcomes metal spring limitations (high rigidity, noise) and rubber spring limitations (load capacity, stability)
• Higher load capacity and larger deformation range
• Superior vibration reduction and noise suppression
• Smooth operation with short resonance range
