Metacone™
springs
An easily fitted and compact conical section suspension
unit in which the rubber is loaded in combined shear and
compression. Particularly suitable for primary suspension
of light rail vehicles. |
  |
Chevron
Provide three modes with dissimilar rates of flexibility
for axlebox primary suspensions. Pairs of springs fitted
in vee formation achieve this through shear and compression
compliance within the rubber elements. |
 |
Hour
Glass Spring
A patented design suitable for both primary and secondary
suspension of heavy vehicles. These springs provide large
horizontal deflections for bogie rotation, and lateral
displacement. Additionally, a rising rate stiffness for
almost constant periodicity in the vertical axis. A half
unit can be used with an airspring assembly for excellent
vertical and horizontal stiffness characteristics in normal
and emergency conditions. |
 |
Bearer
Springs
Large capacity springs designed to allow bogie rotation
and lateral displacement. In a revised geometry some designs
can also be used as traction centres. Robust and simple
to fit. |
 |
Air
Spring Assembly
The optimum secondary suspension for all types of passenger
vehicle. These springs provide a low frequency suspension
but a constant ride height. |

Spherilastik™
Bearings and Control Links
Typical uses for Spherilastik™ Bearings include traction
and torque reaction rods for rail and off-road vehicles,
hydraulic damper fixings and other applications where
a high radial load bearing, with low rotational stiffness
is required. Control links are suitable for all types
of heavy vehicle, offering excellent axle location under
braking and traction forces. Available in varying lengths
and fitted with ultra duty, inner sleeve bushes or Spherilastik™
bearings. |

Vee
Mountings
This high load capacity mounting with relatively large
rubber volume provides a high degree of vibration and
noise isolation. It is ideally suited for suspending engines
installed in ‘under floor’ engine installations. |
 |
Offset
Shear Springs
This type of spring may be used for primary or secondary
suspensions on rail vehicles. Offset Shear Springs are
normally used in pairs, fitted at an angle to the vertical
axis, thereby loading the rubber in shear and compression
and providing three linear modes of flexibility. |
