What Are the Advantages of Vibracoustic Air Springs?
Air Springs – Vibracoustic SE
From the minimum loads of an unhitched tractor to the weight of a fully-loaded trailer, commercial vehicle axles need to cover extreme load fluctuations with the rear axles being exposed to the main load of those fluctuations. With their ability to quickly change the spring rate according to the current load situation, commercial vehicle air springs are an excellent solution for this challenge. Therefore, they are used in most commercial vehicles like trucks and buses as well as in trailers.

Commercial vehicle air springs from Vibracoustic CV Air Springs offer an excellent combination of reliability, safety, and comfort for trucks, tractors, trailers and buses. By adding or releasing air, the same level of driving comfort can be provided and a constant height can be maintained for all load situations.
Keeping the vehicle and trailer at a constant height level maintains vehicle stability and provides safe driving characteristics. Furthermore, it improves vibration damping in all load conditions. This reduces axle, transmission and tire wear and increases vehicle durability and efficiency. In addition, the truck suspension cannot bottom out thanks to the air springs and the chassis and the transported goods are strongly protected from damage.
The driver as well benefits from improved vibration damping, which provides high driving comfort and reduces driver fatigue for a relaxed and secure haulage.

Vibracoustic introduces an evolution of its Centronics cabin-leveling air springs with increased damping performance and robustness for commercial vehicles
Vibracoustic, a leading global automotive noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) expert, has developed its Centronics cabin air springs to offer increased damping and improve robustness. Next to the increased robustness of the new evolution, the Centronics offer substantial advantages for packaging, parts consolidation, and ease of assembly for commercial vehicle OEMs, as well as increasing performance and lowering lifetime operating costs.
Thanks to an integrated self-leveling system, ‘plug and play’ assembly and lower total cost of ownership, Vibracoustic’s Centronics provide an attractive solution for commercial vehicle OEMs worldwide. The solution reduces build complexity and improves packaging by eliminating external leveling components, while simultaneously upholding the NVH performance and comfort requirements. Unlike other self-leveling air spring systems on the market, the Vibracoustic Centronics system is entirely self-contained, with no external brackets, adapters, tubes or valves.
Substantially improving cabin comfort, stability, and NVH management, Centronics help to reduce driver fatigue – a critical concern for commercial vehicle operators. The Centronics Cabin Air Springs can be tailored to customer specifications, with numerous components customizable to meet design targets, allowing independent leveling in each of the four corners of the cabin. The Centronics Cabin Air Springs already convince with road-proven performance and quality as already several leading global commercial vehicle manufacturers are equipping their vehicles with Vibracoustic cabin air springs. A reduction in lifetime operating costs and securing longevity round off the offer.
Upgraded shock absorber for excellent performance on heavier cabins
An evolution of Centronics includes a 45mm diameter shock absorber in comparison to the original 42mm diameter unit, which makes sure that customer requirements for NVH performance and durability are met even for vehicles with heavier cabins. With an enhanced jounce bumper and valves as well as improved leveling control unit, the new system meets customer requirements for damping performance and is even more robust. The overall system size remains similar, though Vibracoustic’s engineers were able to reduce the total free height by 10% thus allowing for even more packaging flexibility and efficiency. The Centronics are also a suitable solution for future mobility commercial vehicle concepts like electric or fuel-cell powered vehicles.
