| | | Enidine's large, Bead-Ring Style 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, fabric-reinforced natural rubber flex member construction and corrosion-protected bead-ring mounting hardware, Enidine Air Industrial springs provide superior quality and performance. As an actuator, Enidine Air Springs provide linear or angular motion. These Air Springs offer a favorable stroke-to-compressed-height ratio when compared to air cylinders, and can accept a wide variety of actuation media such as air, water, nitrogen or anti-freeze. As an isolator, Enidine Air Springs are effective in reducing the harmful effects of vibration. They can simultaneously isolate vibration and regulate load height, as well as allow for consistent vibration isolation under varying loads. Enidine offers a variety of Air Spring types in addition to the large, Bead-Ring Style 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 various end retainer mounting styles for your installation. Contact Enidine for further information regarding these Air Spring products. Temperature Range Guidelines Enidine Bead-Ring Style Air Springs are constructed of natural rubber. The standard operating temperature is from -40°F (-40°C) to 125°F (50°C). The maximum permissible operating temperature is 160°F (70°C), although when operating at this temperature, the air spring may have a reduced service life. Storage Enidine Air Springs should be stored in dark, dry conditions at normal room temperature. | | |
| | | Chemical Resistance Enidine Air Springs are resistant to: • Chemically non-aggressive dust and contaminant's • Alkaline and acidic cleaning agents • Glycol-based hydraulic fluids • The effects of weathering Installation Guidelines Warning: • Before installing, check the Air Spring carefully for any damage it may have suffered from transport or improper storage. • Do not inflate the Air Spring until it has been secured properly. • The maximum operating air pressure is 120 psi (8 bar). • Upper and lower bead rings are attached by bolting each to the customer's own mounting plate. Bead-Ring Air Springs are provided with 3/8 - 24 UNF X 17/8 long bolts. Recommended torque is 28-32 FT-LBS. • Customer will need to fabricate their own mounting plates. Plates must be flat with a minimum surface finish of 32 Ra (micro inches). • Fully deflate the Air Spring before removing • Provide stroke limitations to prevent the Air Spring from exceeding the maximum allowable stroke height and minimum compressed height. • Never use the Air Spring in torsion. | | |
