Unrestricted air spring with conical spring
Thanks to the large wall length of their bellows, unrestricted air springs are best suited to service in bolsterless bogies of high-speed trains and for modern bogies in urban and suburban transport systems. They allow all relative movements between vehicle body and bogie.
Belted air spring with layer spring
Belted air springs are used in applications requiring max. load carrying capacity in a limited space. They are usually designed for bogies with a bolster. In combination with additional springs they also find application in modern bolsterless bogies used in mass transit trains.
Rolling lobe air spring with half-hourglass
Under identical loading, rolling lobe air springs need slightly more installation space, but they permit somewhat larger lateral deflections with a lower design height. Fitted in series with a half-hourglass, they are suitable for bogies used in urban and suburban trains, especially in Jakobs bogies.
Guided rolling lobe air spring with conical spring
Thanks to their compact design, guided rolling lobe springs permit the use of air spring systems even in confined spaces. Strengthened by a "stiffener", air springs can operate at more than 6 bar working pressure. This allows small outer diameters to achieve relatively high load carrying capacities. They are used in bogies of trams, especially low-floor types.
