ADVANTAGES OF FIRESTONE ® AIRSTROKE ACTUATORS Why use an Airstroke actuator (rather than air or hydraulic cylinder) for actuation? LOW COST Generally, initial cost is one-half or less than conventional pneumatic or hydraulic cylin- ders of the same force capabilities. This initial cost advantage is many times greater in the larger sizes. WIDE SIZE RANGE Airstroke actuators are available in sizes ranging from 2.2 inches to 37 inches in diameter. The force capability is 100,000 pounds. Strokes of

ADVANTAGES OF FIRESTONE ® AIRMOUNT ISOLATORS Why use an Airmount isolator rather than a coil CONSTANT ISOLATION EFFICIENCY spring or other type of isolator? Airmount isolators are unique in that the system’s natural fre- quency does not change significantly with changes in load. UNSURPASSED ISOLATION CAPABILITY This unique feature, combined with accurate height control, will Airmount isolators can provide the highest degree of isolation allow the use of the same Airmount isolator at each mount

HOW TO USE THE STATIC DATA CHART We also refer to this chart as the load/deflection (L/D) curve for an air spring. The force [1] is given [ ] 6 on the right hand axis vs. the air spring height [2] Recommended Airmount Static Data as shown along the bottom axis; thus, load vs. Design Height 1227 deflection. The internal volume [3] is also given 9.5 Inches along the left hand axis, again vs. height [2]. It is called static data because the air spring is in a static, or non-moving, constant pressu

In the example the effective Would a #22 be appropriate, and if so, at what height? The area of a #22, at 4.0 inches using the 80 psi curve, is: height isn’t much of a problem, as this part SHOULD BE USED AT 9.5 INCHES. Simply move up the darkened line to 7,180 lbs. 2 = 89.8 in where it intersects 4,100 Ibs [14]. That point falls between the 2 80 Ibs/i
