Resistoflex has a long standing collaboration with ContiTech, a unit of
Continental,
Germany for design and supply of Air Suspension System for Automobile and
Industrial
applications.
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.The
Air
Suspension system is an often-overlooked area, from a comfort and safety
standpoint.
Shock Absorbers and Coil Springs help absorb and direct road force, maintaining
wheel oscillation, jounce and rebound. Air Suspension Systems essentially
replace a
vehicle's coil springs with air springs.
The Air Springs are simply tough rubber inflated to a certain pressure and height to mimic the coil springs. But the similarities end there. By adding in an on-board air compressor, sensors and electronic controls, today's Air Suspension Systems provide several advantages over all-metal, conventional springs, including near-instant tuning, and the ability to adapt handling to different situations and vary load capability. Air Suspension can lower a Vehicle to improve its street cred, even out a heavy payload, or simply improve the ride. Air Spring provides structural integrity, air-tight construction, toughness against light abrasion from road debris and sand, and resistance to salt and chemical corrosion.
