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.
