DESCRIPTION
Convoluted Air Spring
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.
The usefulness of air springs or actuators didn’t go unnoticed in
the industrial machine industry, and it was clear they could
provide unique solutions for various applications. Air actuators
have seen duty as shock absorbers, linear actuators, vibration
isolators, and tensioners, to name a few examples. They can be used
to absorb shock in material handling applications, such as a saw
mill, when logs are dropped onto processing stations. Air springs
make some of the best vibration isolators on the market, such as
would be used on a vibrating hopper or commercial laundry machine.
In summation, air springs are a high force, low cost actuator that
can operate in a linear fashion or at an angle. They can be stacked
to provide longer strokes or greater angular rotation.
With that being said, there are a few things to take into
consideration. In the winter months, you will want to ensure there
is no water or condensation in your air tank. A water trap for your
tank can fix this issue and ensure nothing freezes. You will also
need to routinely check all of your components and air lines to
ensure they are free of any defects. This is really important for
exterior mounted items such as air lines and air shocks.
