Ilmajousipussit

Ilmajousipussit, also known as air springs or air bellows, are a type of spring component that uses a flexible rubber or plastic bladder to hold a volume of compressed air. This air acts as the spring medium, providing a cushion and support. When compressed, the air inside the bladder resists the pressure, pushing back and absorbing energy.

These devices are commonly found in automotive suspension systems, both in passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses. In vehicles, ilmajousipussit can replace traditional coil springs, offering advantages such as adjustable ride height and stiffness. They allow for a smoother ride by isolating the vehicle body from road imperfections. Furthermore, they can be used to maintain a level ride, even when the vehicle is carrying a heavy or uneven load.

Beyond automotive applications, ilmajousipussit are utilized in various industrial settings. They serve as vibration isolators in machinery, protecting sensitive equipment and reducing noise transmission. They are also employed in lifting and jacking equipment, providing a controlled and stable lifting force. In some manufacturing processes, they can be used for clamping or pressing applications due to their ability to conform to irregular shapes. The design of ilmajousipussit can vary, with different shapes and sizes engineered for specific load requirements and operational environments.
