Abstract
A system for dampening forces between a suspension frame and an air tank is provided. In one aspect, the system includes a first resilient isolator pad positioned between a first side of an attachment bracket of the air tank and a support rail of the suspension frame. The system also includes a second resilient isolator pad positioned on a second side of the attachment bracket; a retention plate positioned on a side of the second resilient isolator pad opposite the attachment bracket; and one or more fasteners extending through the retention plate, the second resilient isolator pad, the first resilient isolator pad, and the support rail.
Claims20
A system for dampening forces between a suspension frame and an air tank, the system comprising:
- a first resilient isolator pad positioned between a first side of an attachment bracket of the air tank and a support rail of the suspension frame;
- a second resilient isolator pad positioned on a second side of the attachment bracket;
- a retention plate positioned on a side of the second resilient isolator pad opposite the attachment bracket;
- and
- one or more fasteners extending through the retention plate, the second resilient isolator pad, the first resilient isolator pad, and the support rail.
A method of assembling an air tank on a suspension frame, the method comprising:
- positioning a first resilient isolator pad on top of a support rail of the suspension frame;
- positioning the air tank comprising an attachment bracket over the first resilient isolator pad such that the first resilient isolator pad is between the support rail and a first side of the attachment bracket;
- positioning a second resilient isolator pad and a retention plate on a second side of the attachment bracket;
- passing one or more fasteners through the retention plate, the second resilient isolator pad, the first resilient isolator pad, and the support rail;
- and
- fastening each of the one or more fasteners to a torque.
