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).
