Pneumatic spring

suspension

Description
Air springs maintain vehicle ride height regardless of load and enable height adjustment to improve aerodynamics and extend range at higher speeds. They provide multiple stiffness modes, allowing fast switching between a firm setting for safe driving and a more comfortable setup for long journeys.

Chassis and compatibility
Different chassis require specific air springs: Standard, Sport, AMG or M‑Model variants have distinct design and handling requirements. Choosing chassis-specific air springs preserves the vehicle's original handling characteristics.

Benefits for e-mobility
Air springs optimise underbody airflow for passive battery cooling, protect battery packs on rough roads and ensure a constant minimum ground clearance. Dynamic ride-height adjustment reduces thermal stress on batteries and helps maintain optimal operating conditions.

Product information
Corteco supplies original-equivalent and matching stand-alone air springs for each chassis type. Damaged air springs can be replaced individually to restore the original driving setup, minimising repair time. Components are new and designed to meet OE specifications.

Manufacturer information
Vibracoustic is referenced as a leading air spring manufacturer supplying a large share of vehicles with air suspension, offering developed and patented concepts for OEMs.
