    摘要: Tubular-shaped flexible members for air springs are made of rubber or rubber-like elastomers and are reinforced by reinforcement layers. In order that the air spring flexible member can roll telescopically off a roll-off piston, the tubular-shaped flexible member sections must be brought into a slightly conical or bottle-like configuration and then vulcanized in this form. A method forms and vulcanizes an air spring flexible member blank and utilizes an apparatus which includes a mold defining a bellied inner wall defining a common hollow space for receiving the air spring flexible member blank therein. A pressure bellows unit includes a pressure bellows extending axially in the common hollow space as well as first and second end pieces joined to the pressure bellows at corresponding longitudinal ends thereof. In the method, the blank is placed over the pressure bellows and pressurized air is introduced into the interior of the pressure bellows to expand the pressure bellows thereby pressing the blank against the bellied inner wall and causing the pressure bellows to shorten. The end pieces are moved along the longitudinal axis to follow the shortening of the pressure bellows as the pressure bellows expands thereby holding a mechanical loading on the pressure bellows to a low value.

    摘要: An identification device (1) for a pneumatic spring (2) includes an RFID transponder (8), which is completely embedded into the elastomer matrix (13) of the flexible member (4). An electromagnetic field is generated by a read device (9), wherein the energy necessary for supplying the RFID transponders (8) is taken from the electromagnetic field generated by the read device (9). When the read device (9) is active, information can be exchanged between the RFID transponder (8) and the read device (9). The RFID transponder (8) operates completely without an internal energy supply. The RFID transponder (8) may also be configured as a read/write transponder including a memory chip, wherein data may be stored on the memory chip in a safe and permanent manner. By retrieving data from the RFID transponder (8), an identification of the pneumatic spring (2) is possible even without any internal power supply of the RFID transponder.

    摘要: In a sleeve rolling-lobe flexible member air spring (2) at least one end section (4a, 4b) of the sleeve rolling-lobe flexible member (4) is to be attached in a reliable manner form tight, pull tight and pressure tight to a connecting part (air spring cover, 8 and/or roll-off piston, 10) by means of a clamp ring (6). The connecting part (8, 10) has an attachment slot (12) having the following characteristics: (a) the slot (12) has a truncated cone-shaped cross section, (b) the base (14) of the slot (12) is cylindrical, and (c) at least one of the flanks (16a, 16b) of the slot (12) forms a linear conical form with an opening angle (α); (d) in relation to the height (Hs) of the clamp ring (6), the height (HN) of the base surface (14) of the slot (12) is in the region of −15% to +15%, that is, 0.85≦HN/HS≦1.15; (e) the inner surface (6a) of the clamp ring (6) extends parallel relative to the base surface (14) of the slot (12) which is arranged in the connecting part (8, 10); (f) in the clamped state, the inner radius of the clamp ring (6) is smaller than or equal to at least one of the radii of the slot upper edges; (g) the sleeve rolling-lobe flexible member (4) is not compressed in the region between the base surface of the slot (12) and the inner side (6a) of the clamp ring (6); (h) the clamp ring (6), with at least one slot flank (16a and/or 16b), forms a constriction which clamps the flexible member wall of the end section (4a and/or 4b). Since the inventive drop base ring clamping of sleeve rolling-lobe flexible members can be subjected to heavy loads and is extremely reliable, it can be used, preferably, for utility vehicles (trucks and buses).

    摘要: A flexible member air spring has an end section of the flexible member attached to a connecting part by a clamp ring. The connecting part has a slot having a truncated cone-shaped cross section. The base of the slot is cylindrical and a flank of the slot has a linear conical form. The inner surface of the clamp ring extends parallel to the base surface. In the clamped state, the inner radius of the clamp ring is less than or equal to at least one of the radii of the slot upper edges. The flexible member is not compressed between the base surface of the slot and the inner side of the clamp ring. The clamp ring, with at least one slot flank, forms a constriction clamping the flexible member wall of the end section.
