Firestone developed the air spring in the late 1930’s as a more efficient spring (vibration isolator) for use in vehicle suspensions. Airide™ springs, as they were named, provided the means for a suspension to reduce the amount of road shock and vibration transmitted into the vehicle. Millions of kilometers of actual use have proven the dependability and effectiveness of the air suspension concept using Airide™ springs by Firestone.
Airstroke™ actuators, Airmount™ isolators, and Airide™ springs are Firestone registered trademark names FOR ONE PRODUCT: the air spring. The use of the air spring (actuator, industrial isolator and vehicular isolator, respectively) determines which name is applied to it.
All of the parts in this catalogue may be used as Airstroke actuators (except the 1X84D-1) or Airmount vibration isolators, with two exceptions: Triple convoluted and reversible sleeve type air springs (except the 1M1A) should not be used as Airmount vibration isolators without consulting Firestone.
Individual Airstroke actuators and Airmount vibration isolators are capable of generating a force or supporting a load of up to 450 kN and a stroke capability of up to 355 mm is possible. Included in the engineering manual are detailed operating characteristics for many of the standard Firestone air springs, along with technical details and procedures for using these products.
