Product Variants

TEVEMA offers multiple variants of air springs to suit specific agricultural needs, providing flexibility and adaptability in different applications:

F Series Single convoluted air spring

Single Convoluted Air Springs

Ideal for applications requiring compact size and high flexibility, these air springs provide excellent performance in limited space environments.

F Series Double convoluted air spring

Double Convoluted Air Springs

Suitable for applications needing higher load capacity and greater stability, double convoluted air springs offer enhanced durability and operational efficiency.

F Series Triple convoluted air spring

Triple Convoluted Air Springs

Designed for maximum load capacity and optimal vibration isolation, triple convoluted air springs are perfect for the most demanding agricultural machinery.

Detailed Design Alternatives

TEVEMA provides three main design alternatives for the assembly of air springs, each tailored to specific agricultural applications:

Dismountable design airbellow

Dismountable Design

Removable set assembled with two clamping bead rings and top and bottom plates, featuring an air inlet connection in the top plate and studs or threaded holes for fixation. Available in D Series air springs.

Crimped design airbellow

Crimped Design

Non-dismountable set assembled by mechanically crimping top and bottom bead plates, with blind nuts for fixation and an air inlet connection in the top plate. Available in F Series air springs.

Bead Ring Design

Dismountable set assembled with socket head, threaded, or countersunk type bead rings. The air spring is directly assembled to the machine, or the customer supplies the plates. Available in F Series air bellows.

Advantages as Isolators

TEVEMA air springs offer significant advantages when used as isolators in agricultural applications:

  • Uniform Isolation Properties: The air isolators maintain constant natural frequency values with changing loads, ensuring effective vibration isolation.

  • Extended Machinery Life: By reducing vibrations, TEVEMA air springs extend the lifecycle of agricultural equipment, minimizing wear and tear.

  • Height Control: The air pressure can be regulated to guarantee a uniform operating height with alternating loads, enhancing stability and performance.

  • Best Isolation Degree in the Market: TEVEMA air springs can absorb more than 99% of unwanted vibrations, providing superior isolation performance.

  • Effective Noise Reduction: The natural frequency of rubber air springs reduces structurally transmitted noise, improving the working environment.

  • Extended Product Life: TEVEMA air springs are weather-resistant and can be manufactured with a wide range of elastomers and steel qualities, making them suitable for harsh conditions.

  • Compact Installation Height: Rubber air springs have a very low design height, allowing for compact construction and easy integration into machinery.

Advantages as Actuators

When used as actuators, TEVEMA air springs offer several benefits over traditional rigid actuators:

  • Lateral Misalignment Absorption: Due to their flexibility, air springs can operate with lateral misalignments up to 30 mm, reducing costs by avoiding the need for precision guides.

  • Uniform Movements: The stick-slip effect, common in conventional cylinders, is avoided, ensuring smooth and consistent movements.

  • Tilt Motion Capability: TEVEMA air springs have an angular capability of up to 25°, providing flexibility in various applications.

  • Low Purchasing Cost: The purchasing cost of a rubber actuator is much lower than that of a conventional pneumatic cylinder, making it a cost-effective solution.
