Air Springs

Air Springs and Air Spring Manufacturer

Compact 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™ or natural rubber flex-member construction and corrosion-protected end retainers, Compact Air Springs provide superior quality and performance. As actuators, they can provide either linear or angular motion.

These air bag products offer a favorable stroke-to-compressed-height ratio when compared to air cylinders, and they can accept a wide variety of actuation media such as air, water, nitrogen or anti-freeze. As isolators, they are effective in reducing the harmful effects of vibration. They also can simultaneously isolate vibration and regulate load height as well as allow for consistent vibration isolation under varying loads.

Compact offers a variety of air spring and air bag types to meet your actuation or isolation needs. The Single, Double and Triple Convolute Bellows, Rolling Lobe and Sleeve Types are available in a wide range of sizes, with the end retainer style required to suit your specific installation.

In addition to our line of air springs, we offer a large variety of industrial shock absorbers, wire rope isolators and many other energy and vibration absorption solutions
