Truck Air Springs: Reliable Performance Guarantors in Extreme Environments

I. Special Challenges of Extreme Environments to Air Springs​
Different extreme environments have distinct impacts on the material, structure, and performance of air springs:​
1. High-temperature and scorching environments​

• Challenge: In regions like the Middle East deserts, summer temperatures often exceed 50°C, causing rubber aging, hardening, reduced elasticity, and poor sealing. Ordinary air springs may leak or rupture within 6 months.​

• Ener's Solution: Custom air springs for MITSUBISHI FUSO, made of high-temperature resistant fluororubber and processed via special vulcanization, maintain stable performance at -40°C to 80°C, with a service life of over 1 year in desert environments.​

• Challenge: In areas like Siberia, winter temperatures drop below -40°C, leading to gas contraction, reduced elasticity, and brittle rubber prone to cracking.​

• Ener's Solution: Air springs developed for VOLVO with optimized rubber formulas and cold-resistant additives. At -40°C, the elastic attenuation rate is only 5% (industry average: 15%), ensuring normal truck operation.​

• Challenge: In tropical rainforests and coastal regions, high humidity and salt content corrode metal parts, shortening service life.​

• Ener's Solution: Air springs for ISUZU with metal frames treated with galvanizing and painting (double anti-corrosion). In coastal areas, metal corrosion is significantly reduced, and service life is extended by over 2x.​

• Challenge: In plateau areas, decreasing air pressure with altitude increases internal-external pressure difference, causing bulging or blowouts.​

• Ener's Solution: Plateau-specific air springs for HYUNDAI with high-strength cord layers and special sealing structures, withstanding greater pressure differences. Stable performance in tests at altitudes above 4,000 meters.​

• Collaborated with research institutions to develop environment-specific rubber materials:​

• High-temperature: Fluororubber (30% better heat resistance than ordinary rubber).​

• Low-temperature: EPDM rubber with cold-resistant agents (maintains elasticity at -40°C).​

• Corrosive environments: Chloroprene rubber with multi-layer anti-corrosion for metal parts.​

• Multi-curved bladder structure: Better elasticity and load-bearing capacity than traditional single-curved designs.​

• Reinforced metal flanges: Improve connection strength with the frame, reducing vibration-induced loosening/damage.​

• Internal buffer layer: Absorbs road impacts to protect the airbag from excessive extrusion.​

• Developed for plateau and other high-pressure-variation environments:​

• Sensors monitor internal air spring pressure and external atmospheric pressure in real time.​

• Automatically adjusts inflation to maintain optimal working pressure.​

• Rapid response in mountainous areas with large altitude changes, enhancing driving safety and comfort.​

• High-temperature: Regularly check rubber surfaces for aging/cracks; replace promptly if damaged.​

• Low-temperature: Check inflation pressure before winter use to ensure it meets standards.​

• Humid/corrosive: Clean dust and salt from surfaces regularly to keep dry.​

• Plateau: Calibrate and maintain the intelligent pressure regulation system periodically.​
