Abstract
An air spring assembly is disclosed. The air spring assembly includes a piston assembly including a piston, at least one compliant member, a seal configured to provide an air tight seal between the piston and a wall of an air chamber, and a fastener configured to couple the piston with a shaft.
Claims32
A piston assembly comprising:
- a piston;
- at least one compliant member;
- a seal configured to provide an air tight seal between said piston and a wall of an air chamber;
- and
- a fastener configured to couple said piston with a shaft.
2 more elements
A piston assembly comprising:
- a piston;
- at least one compliant member between said piston and a shaft;
- and
- a piston base, said piston base configured to couple with said piston and supportively enclose said shaft and said at least one compliant member therein, such that said shaft can move relative to said piston.
1 more element
A negative plate assembly comprising:
- an outer seal head;
- an inner seal head configured to couple with said outer seal head to form a body of said negative plate assembly;
- a compliant member between said outer seal head and said inner seal head configured to provide a flexible, air tight connection with said inner seal head and said outer seal head;
- and
- said inner seal head further comprising:
- a bearing housing, said bearing housing having radial and rotational movement within said body of said negative plate assembly due to said flexible, air tight connection provided by said compliant member.
3 more elements
An air spring assembly comprising:
- a piston assembly comprising:
- a piston;
- at least one piston side compliant member between said piston and a shaft;
- and
- a piston base, said piston base configured to couple with said piston and supportively enclose said shaft and said at least one piston side compliant member therein, such that said shaft can move relative to said piston;
- and
- a negative plate assembly comprising:
- an outer seal head;
- an inner seal head configured to couple with said outer seal head to form a body of said negative plate assembly;
- a negative plate side compliant member between said outer seal head and said inner seal head configured to provide a flexible, air tight connection with said inner seal head and said outer seal head;
- and
- said inner seal head further comprising:
- a bearing housing, said bearing housing having radial and rotational movement within said body of said negative plate assembly due to said flexible, air tight connection provided by said negative plate side compliant member.
