Air Springs (Legacy)

Product catalog summary
Company Overview
Enidine Incorporated, based in Orchard Park, New York, specializes in energy absorption and vibration isolation solutions for sectors such as Industrial, Aerospace, Defense, Marine, and Rail. Established in 1966, the company employs approximately 600 people globally and offers products like shock absorbers, gas springs, and air springs.
Enidine Air Springs
These air springs are designed for durability and cost-effectiveness in actuation and vibration isolation applications. Constructed with fabric-reinforced Neoprene or Natural Rubber, they feature corrosion-protected end retainers and can handle various actuation media while effectively reducing vibration effects.
Temperature Range Guidelines
For continuous service, Neoprene operates between -20°F to 135°F, and Natural Rubber between -56°F to 135°F. For intermittent service, Neoprene ranges from -40°F to 150°F, and Natural Rubber from -76°F to 150°F.
Advantages
Enidine Air Springs offer a favorable stroke-to-compressed-height ratio compared to air cylinders, support varying loads without redesign, allow a maximum tilt angle of 25°, and require minimal space.
Application Versatility
These air springs are used in industries such as oil exploration, foundries, bottling equipment, and amusement rides, suitable for applications requiring vibration isolation and actuation.
Installation and Operating Instructions
Proper installation requires stops for minimal height and stroke limitations, avoiding torsion, and ensuring the maximum pressure does not exceed 100 psi (7 bar).
Air Spring Sizing for Actuation
Selection involves filling out an application worksheet and referring to a selection chart for actuation specifications, considering the required stroke and ensuring adequate clearance to prevent abrasion.
Specifications and Procedures
  • Air Spring Selection: The process involves selecting a model like the YI-1B8-550 to generate specific force at given pressure and stroke.
  • Application Worksheet: Details necessary data for actuation applications, including total force, number of actuators, stroke, air pressure, and temperature range.
  • Calculation Examples: Provides examples for calculating force per air spring and corrected force using specific formulas.
Installation Considerations
  • Stability and Pressurization: Guidelines ensure stability and proper pressurization, emphasizing lateral stability and loading before pressurization.
  • Vibration Isolation: Includes a worksheet detailing data like total load, number of isolators, input frequency, and required isolation percentage.
Selection Charts
Provides specifications for various air spring models, including maximum load range, system natural frequency, and isolation percentages at different input frequencies.
Key Recommendations
  • Space Requirements: Ensure adequate space for housing the air spring with specific diameter recommendations.
  • Internal Bumpers: Consider based on application conditions like potential depressurization or lack of external compression stops.
Conclusion
The document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and installing air springs for actuation and vibration isolation applications, providing detailed specifications, calculation examples, and installation considerations.
