About Air Springs
Air springs use a contained column of air inside an elastomeric bellows or sleeve to buffer cyclic motion, provide vibration isolation, or serve as a pneumatic actuator. They can be used as a primary suspension spring or a secondary component inside a coil spring for automotive and heavy transportation applications. Other applications include vibration isolation on rotating machinery, use as linear actuators in place of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, and load lifters.
Air springs can be thought of as heavy-duty balloons that provide a smoother riding suspension when compared to metallic or plastic springs, when used for actuation and isolation tasks within industrial equipment and within vehicle suspensions. They incorporate a carefully designed rubber and fabric bellows that contains a column of compressed air. The rubber bellows itself does not provide force or support load - the column of air does this when the air spring is inflated according to the load required of it. Load capacity can vary from 40-40,000kg.
