Application

Bus air springs enable constant and low natural frequency for empty and laden conditions and therefore provide excellent ride comfort for the passenger.

Bus air springs support the kneeling function for convenient passenger entry and exit.

As a general rule, two air springs are fitted to the front axle and four to the rear axle.

VKNTECH bus air springs provide effective solutions:

Integrated air spring shock absorber modules to meet the most stringent of demands in terms of comfort

Compact spring design for limited installation space

The weight of a truck, and therefore the axle load, fluctuates greatly depending on the payload. In order to provide the best possible solution to meet the resulting suspension requirements, virtually all commercial vehicle manufacturers make use of air springs.

Air-suspended trucks with level control system provide constant chassis height and road clearance, regardless of the loading weight.

Constant and low natural frequency between tare and full load can only be achieved using air springs. This ensures effective cargo protection, even on poor road surfaces, excellent comfort and health protection for the truck driver and safe driving conditions. In addition, truck air springs enable the vehicle body to be raised and lowered for loading and unloading operations via manually operated chassis height control units.

This enables easy truck height adjustment for trailer king pin connection, swap body handling or loading ramps.

VKNTECH truck air springs provide substantial performance benefits:

High degree of comfort and can be installed in small spaces.

Fuel economy and payload increase thanks to their lightweight design.

Robustness across an extended operating temperature range.

Air suspension on trailers provides protection for both payload and trailer body, including mounted equipment.

Trailer air springs further contribute to reduced road wear thanks to their low natural frequency, reduced unsprung axle mass and reduced wheel load fluctuations. This aspect is of growing importance as traffic volume is increasing.

As a rule, each axle has two air springs. In multi-axle combinations, one axle is frequently provided with an axle-lifting device to reduce tire wear on empty runs or when the vehicle is only partially loaded. Convoluted air springs are normally used for raising and lowering lift axles.

VKNTECH trailer air springs are designed with a specific focus on the following aspects:

Optimum cost-effectiveness achieved through the selection of specific materials and components in line with the application requirements.

Robust solutions incorporating a high degree of functionality.

VKNTECH seat air springs are usually used in heavy commercial vehicles They decrease drivers fatigue levels by changing the hardness or resiliency of the seat caused by running conditions of the motor vehicles. Therefore driver’s seats prevent serious health risks related to driver fatigue.

Cabin air springs connect the driver’s cabin in commercial vehicles with the vehicle chassis. A cabin suspension separated from the vehicle frame considerably improves driving comfort and stability.

VKNTEVH Cabin/Cab air spring Features:

Isolate vibration transfer transmitted to the cabin, increasing comfort for the driver as well as reducing fatigue

Control the ride height and stiffness

Adjust to different load types or road conditions
