DESCRIPTION
Air springs contain a column of air in an elastomeric bellow or sleeve to provide suspension, isolation, or actuation. Commonly found in vehicle suspension systems, occasionally in conjunction with a coil spring, they are also used to insulate vibration in machinery and as linear or angular actuators.
Air springs are employed through the use of an air compressor which fills and empties the pliable air bladder. The load is not distributed to the rubber liner, which only serves to contain the gas; the weight is attached to a piston or bead plate, which is directly supported by the air with very little deflection. A self-leveling mechanism is common to keep the air spring's load stable, and occasionally a separate coil spring is incorporated into the design. Also available are electronic air spring systems that can monitor air pressure, filter compressor air (preventing damage to the rubber bellows), and a lock to keep air inside of the spring in case of compressor or air line failure.
Air springs are most common in vehicle suspensions, but can also be used to keep vibrating/rotating machinery from affecting other components. Occasionally used as actuators, air springs can provide linear and angular translation.
Our products are designed to help every part of a semi-truck operate at peak capacity, especially the driver. That's why you'll find Firestone solutions hard at work in the driver's cab, shielding the driver from disruptive vibrations and noise. With Firestone cab mounts and seat air springs, drivers are more comfortable, more productive and less subject to accidents caused by fatigue.
