2. Pivot
Bush
The exceptionally tough, metal encased Pivot
Bush chosen for its very compact design, virtually
eliminates rubber extrusion thus greatly extending
its effective working life. The bonding of the bush
material to the outer case and inner sleeve ensures
the bush works in shear and cannot rotate. This
compact design also permits front bracket
reinforcing to be closer to the point of side load
and reduces unwanted side movements.

3.
Spring
The shape of the spring contains the suspension
geometry. Tecair I has a standard rating of 12 tonne
which is specially designed for arduous
applications.
|
4. Air Spring
Using quality large diameter, low pressure air
springs allow a reduction of the required air
pressure at typical axle loads. A 4 bar system fed
from a 6 bar air reservoir more readily maintains
the correct ride height and trailer stability. With
the air spring including an internal bump stop, a
long service life is expected.
|
5. Axle Seat
The design philosophy of the axle seat for
Tecair I is allowing for ease of fitment of the
shocker during servicing.
|
6. Axle
The axle, which serves as a torsion beam, is
manufactured from 127mm diameter seamless manganese
alloy steel, its high strength and resistance to
bending characteristics are a critical part of the
design of Tecair air suspensions.
- 16mm wall thickness suitable for highway
operations.
- 19mm wall thickness suitable for off-road
operations. |
