Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the specifications and operational guidelines for compressed-air springs as per VW standard 2491.12. These springs serve as alternatives to gas, spiral compression, and polyurethane springs, offering high initial force, compact design, long service life, and low maintenance.
Specifications:
  • Pressure Medium: Air
  • Max Filling Pressure: 8 bar
  • Min Filling Pressure: 2 bar
  • Working Temperature: 0°C to +80°C
  • Temperature Related Force Increase: ±0.3%/°C
  • Recommended Max Strokes/Min: 40 (at 20°C)
  • Max Stroke Speed: 1.5 m/s (at max filling pressure of 5.5 bar)
Operating Principle: The springs are connected to a compressed air system via a regulator valve. The valve ensures optimal operation by compensating for leaks and maintaining pressure. During operation, the pressure increases with the stroke, enhancing force output. Disconnection from the air system allows the valve to release air, reducing pressure.
Safety and Maintenance: It is crucial to operate these springs with a regulator valve to prevent overpressure and ensure safety. Regular checks and maintenance are recommended to sustain performance and longevity.
Accessories: The document lists necessary accessories such as regulator valves and connection types, which must be ordered separately for proper installation and operation.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for FIBRO GmbH and its subsidiaries worldwide for further inquiries and support.

Compressed-air springs as per VW standard-6

Compressed-air springs Accessories Description: The regulator valve has two functions: filling and releasing of compressed air. The valve operates as a filling valve as soon as the compressed-air spring is connected to the compressed air system. I.e., the regulator valve releases compressed air into the spring until the internal pressure of the spring is equal to the supply pressure. Once the continuous compressed air supply is disconnected, the regulator valve opens and releases the compressed air. If the interior pressure increases considerably, (approx. 28 bar), an overpressure function in...
