Air suspension increases the transport capabilities of trucks and
trailers by providing a better grip that levels the entire
suspension. An air suspension system can also be adjusted for feel,
so drivers can choose between a softer feel for highway cruising or
a harder ride for improved handling on more demanding roads.
Installation
Though they have comparable capabilities, air springs are much
cheaper than pneumatic cylinders and other springs. When deflated,
air springs have a small footprint, making them easy to manipulate
and connect to machinery.
Maintenance
Air springs tend to have low maintenance routines and some
manufacturers state their air springs are maintenance-free (set and
forget). Air springs do not require lubrication, nor do they have
seals or guides that may become misaligned or damaged like with
other springs. Indeed, the bellows of air springs are prone to dry
rot, though this could take years to develop. Air springs should be
stored in dry, dark areas at room temperature.
Environment
Due to its durability and simplicity, air springs are good for most
industrial and commercial applications. Rubber and neoprene are
susceptible to dry rot, so dehumidified conditions could shorten
the service life of an air spring. Both rubber and neoprene are
suitable for use in high/low temperature applications, but have
considerably less heat tolerance than metal spring options. While
usable up to 65°C, neoprene should not be used below -40°C, and
rubber shouldn't be used in sites below -60°C.
