Fast, low cost installation:
Few chassis modifications are required in the
installation of Reyco Granning AirGlide® systems. Even the
OEM chassis manufacturer's axle clamp group
and front spring hanger are reused. So,
vehicle manufacturers report many advantages,
including:
 |
The time required to install an AirGlide®
is about one-half of that required to
install a competitive air suspension
system.
|
|
Elimination of axle misalignment caused by
altering the position of the axle clamp
assembly during suspension system
installation. |
|
Elimination of axle weaknesses associated
with changes in the metallurgical structure
of the axle material during the welding
operations required to install most
competitive air suspension systems.
|
|
The shock absorbers provided with the
chassis may be used to further reduce the
cost of installation. |
|
The rub block and tower design eliminates
the need for track bars as they limit
lateral float of the axle. The rub block
provides a self-cleaning, no-maintenance
wear surface for the axle tower-to-chassis
frame contact. |
|
A polyester retaining strap prevents
over-extension of the shocks and air
springs.
NOTE: AirGlide® suspension models are
engineered for application with specific
chassis. Each suspension is shipped with
assembly instructions and mounting hole
template to ensure rapid, easy
installation. |
Maintains designed vehicle ride height:
AirGlide® suspensions ensure front-to-rear
vehicle ride height consistency regardless of
the distribution of the load within the
vehicle. A standard height control valve
directs appropriate pressure to the air
springs.
Superior roll stiffness:
Unlike competitive suspension designs which
weaken with age and wear, an AirGlide®
maintains roll stiffness. This advantage is
due to two unique Reyco Granning suspension
design features:
|
First, AirGlide's® time-proven, spring-beam
suspension design serves a dual function.
It provides vertical axle float as it helps
to absorb shock loads. |
|
In addition, because the two spring beams
are solidly attached to the axle, they
function as counterbending beams to limit
the extent the chassis may lean.
|
Consistent air springs:
The time-prove, step-down, spring-beam design
is used extensively in heavy truck
suspensions. For light and medium truck air
suspension systems, it facilitates the use of
the original mechanical suspension mounting
points to reduce the cost of installation.
The front spring hanger is used to attach the
front end of the AirGlide® suspension.
Proven spring-beam design:
AirGlide's® air springs provide constant
spring characteristics. And the simplicity of
design of the air spring pedestal promotes
easy installation and service.
