Enidine Air Springs are highly durable, precisely engineered and cost-effective for use in a wide variety of actuation and vibration isolation applications. With time-tested designs incorporating fabric-reinforced Wingprene%u2122 or natural rubber flex-member construction and corrosion-protected end retainers, Enidine Air Springs provide superior quality and performance. As an actuator, Enidine Air Springs can provide either linear or angular motion. These air springs offer a favorable stroke-to-compressed-height ratio when compared to air cylinders, and can accept a wide variety of actuation media such as air, water, nitrogen or anti-freeze. As an isolator, Enidine Air Springs are effective in reducing the harmful effects of vibration.

Air Spring vs. Steel Spring
The advantage that air-spring cab suspension has over conventional steel-spring suspension is that of a low natural frequency, which greatly enhances a commercial vehicle's riding comfort. So-called sleeve air springs are the type normally used in truck and tractor cab suspension. Depending on space availability and the design of add-ons, they can be set up directly with the vibration damper as a one-piece spring strut or alternatively installed in parallel arrangement to the dampers.
As a rule air springs used for cab suspension are arranged as four-corner suspension between the driver's cab and the chassis frame. In addition to improving comfort, air-spring cab suspension offers the advantage that a manufacturer can use a uniform component regardless of customer variant and equipment preferences. The air spring equalizes any force differences as may occur because of differences in cabin weight (raised roof, air-conditioning system etc.) or driving speed. It does this by means of a control valve that automatically varies the internal pressure in such a way that the driver's cab is statically always in the manufacturer's specified design position vis-à-vis the vehicle chassis.
