Common Applications for Firestone Air Bagsįirestone Airide springs make big differences on heavy duty trucks and trailers in many ways. At temperatures as low as -40☏, the new pistons are 100% functional. This allows the rubber bellows of the air spring to last much longer due to significantly reduced wear as the bellows flexes up and down the smooth piston.

Compared to conventional steel or aluminum pistons, they are lighter, more impact-resistant, and impervious to atmospheric corrosion, water, salt, and ice-melting chemicals, plus their smooth non-porous surface finish virtually eliminates the buildup of harmful dirt and grit. These pistons are manufactured from a high percentage, glass filled thermosetting resin using stateof-the-art SMC technology. Sometimes extended as a means of attaching the spring to the vehicle suspension.ġ0) Girdle Hoop - A wire-wound ring molded into the bellows to provide lateral stability in convoluted type springs.Ĭomposite Piston - Firestone offers a composite fiberglass reinforced plastic piston into its reversible sleeve Airide springs for bus suspensions. Controls the characteristics of the spring under changing pressure loads.ĩ) Piston Bolt - Attaches the piston to the bellows. Natural rubber construction provides functional properties to –65F.ħ) Bumper - A solid rubber or engineered plastic device designed to prevent significant damage to the vehicle or suspension in the event of a sudden loss of air pressure in the spring.Ĩ) Piston - Provides a lower mounting arrangement for the air spring. Allows 100% leakproof testing prior to shipment.Ħ) Bellows - The 'air bag' includes four plies of material: an inner layer, two plies of cord-reinforced fabric, and an outer cover. Provides an air entrance to the bellows.ĥ) Bead Plate - Crimped onto the bellows at the factory for a more durable design and maximum quality control. Provides an alternative mounting system to the stud.Ĥ) Air Fitting - Usually 1/4 N.P.T. Used to attach the spring to the vehicle’s suspension.Ģ) Combo Stud - Serves the dual purpose of mounting the spring to the suspension and providing an entrance for air.ģ) Blind Nut - Also a permanent part of the bead plate assembly.

Firestone rubber compounds have superior 'flex' range through temperatures of -65 F to 135 F.Īiride springs are available in single, double and triple convolution types plus reversible sleeve models for virtually every conceivable heavy-duty vehicle suspension application.ġ) Stud - Manufactured as a permanent part of the bead plate assembly for maximum strength and durability.

Firestone is the original designer of composite pistons.

100% of all air spring assemblies are pressure tested before they leave Firestones factory.

Pay you back at trade-in time trucks and trailers with air suspensions are worth more.

Provide smoother ride for payload, reducing costly insurance claims and the expense of overpackaging.

Allow perfect load equalization between axles let you run at the maximum legal limit.

Reduce driver discomfort and dangerous fatigue improve driver safety, productivity and loyalty.

Let you haul anything eliminate expensive deadheading runs.

Substantially reduce breakage and maintenance of other vehicle components, including electrical, air conditioning, cab mounts, exhaust, chassis, seals, wiring and drive train.

Increase life of tires and brake linings.

Last at least twice, and as much as four times longer than steel springs.

Airide springs can reduce your costs and increase your profits.
