DESCRIPTION

There are two types of airbags used in vehicle suspension, convoluted and reversible sleeve. Both types operate on the same principle, by confining gas within the air bag. When the air bag is compressed, it produces reaction force against the compression. This protects the vehicle from vibration isolation as well as other user-friendly advantages.

Convoluted air bags differ from reversible sleeve air bags in that this style does not feature a piston and has convolutions in the bellows component.

Hendrickson air springs are designed and tuned specifically for approved applications. Choosing an air spring other than the original can alter the performance of a suspension. Variations in internal bumpers and flexmember bias can affect how much weight is carried by a given amount of air, which could mean a front axle in a tandem weighs out differently from the rear. Ride quality and performance are key factors when designing the internal make-up of Hendrickson air springs. A low natural frequency is achieved through proprietary piston and bump stop components. Hendrickson air springs undergo advanced design and testing processes to provide enhanced suspension ride, handling and performance. That's why it's important to spec only Hendrickson Genuine Parts air springs.
