Air springs are highly engineered elastomeric bellows with specially designed metal end closures that contain a column of compressed air. The bellow itself is made of high-strength, fabric-reinforced rubber. Besides providing vibration isolation, air springs offer many other advantages over traditional leaf and coil springs, such as keeping the vehicle level, reducing suspension fatigue and tire wear, user-friendly height control, adjustable spring rate and road-friendly suspension increasing the road life.
