Airstroke actuators are also known as the flexible wall “bellows type” air cylinder. They have many unique capabilities and limitations that set them apart from traditional metal wall cylinders. Conditions that suit the Airstroke actuators well are actuation that requires a high force and short stroke cylinder. The Airstroke actuators have long been used in the industrial market as pneumatic actuators incorporated into new and innovative machinery designs as well as replacement actuators for existing applications that had previously used traditional pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders.
Advantages:1) Lower cost than conventional pneumatic or hydraulic
cylinders2) Wide size range – 2.2” to 37” diameter, up to 100,000
lbs, 14” stroke3) Durable 4) No maintenance or lubrication required5) No internal rod or piston6) Friction-free for immediate response 7) Flexible media – uses gas8) Angular capability9) Side loading capability10) Compact starting height11) Factory sealed and tested
Applications:
Conveyor Manufacturing

Firestone AirstrokeTM Actuator
As an actuator, the Airmount is extended by inflating the air spring and retracting by exhausting air. The bellows are inflated to its recommended design height and maintained at the appropriate air pressure in order to support the weight of the isolated equipment. Pneumatic isolators operate on the principal of gas compression instead of displacement of a solid as in other materials such as cork, rubber pads, or coil springs. Airmount isolators can provide the highest degree of isolation of any type of vibration isolator. System natural frequencies as low as 60 cycles per minute (1 Hertz) are available and in order to achieve similar results, a conventional coil spring isolator requires a real deflection of 9 inches.
Advantages:1) Unsurpassed isolation capability2) Natural frequencies as low as 60 cycles/minute (1 Hz),
external reservoirs provide additional volume for an even lower natural frequency
3) Constant isolation efficiency – natural frequencies does not change with load, allowing the use of the same air spring unevenly loaded equipment
4) Accurate height control with regulated internal air pressure
5) Wide size range – 2.2” to 37” diameter, up to 100,000 lbs, 14” stroke
6) Compact installed height – as low as 2.5”7) Effective reduction of structurally transmitted noise

The ModulAir® dryer consists of three main modules; the Dryer Module, for drying; the Distribution Module to deliver air to brake circuits; and the Control Module to control air production and dryer purge operation
Dryer ModuleThe Dryer Module holds the turbo protection valve, check valve, safety valve, desiccant cartridge with canister and heater assembly.
Distribution ModuleThe Distribution Module for the ModulAir® 4-Circuit version contains four pressure protection valves that are set at different pressure settings to give a priority to the primary, secondary and remaining two circuits. Although the dryer purges contaminants through a hole in the Distribution Module it does not contain valves or components that control the dryer purge cycle.
Control ModuleThe Control Module on the standard version of ModulAir® consists of a typical piston airgovernor that is pre-set to cut-in and cut-out pressures. Other versions of the ModulAir® Control Module include various electronic controls for governor, circuit pressure monitoringand control, and air dryer purge cycle.
Desiccant Cartridge, Canister and Mounting CollarThe desiccant cartridge is where all drying and contaminant removal occur in the air dryer. The Haldex ModulAir® dryer contains the Haldex patented MTC cartridge design which has five separate stages of drying. The desiccant cartridge is covered by the canister and affixed to the dryer base with the mounting collar and four bolts.
Turbo Protection ValveThe turbo protection valve, located at the dryer inlet, prevents turbo pressure loss on turbocharged compressor applications when compressor in unloaded.
GovernorA standard pneumatic piston-style governor is used in ModulAir®
to control the cut in and cut out pressures in the air system. The governor signals the compressor to load or unload.
Safety ValveThe safety, or pop off valve, is designed to relieve system pressure if it reaches a level higher than normal operating pressures. This protects other brake system components from high pressures that could cause system damage or failure.
Unloader/Purge ValveThe unloader/purge valve in ModulAir® is essentially a purgevalve. When the dryer is ready to purge, the unloader/purge valve
opens to allow all contaminants collected within the dryer and cartridge to be flushed out through the purge port on the dryer.
Regeneration ValveThe regeneration valve serves as a timer to allow a designated amount of air to flow from theair brake system back through the ModulAir® dryer in order for it to purge and regenerate the desiccant.
HeaterA heater helps prevent moisture collected within the air dryer from freezing. The integrated thermostat on the heater controls when the heater is energized.

Tubeless AndTube-Type TiresThe tubeless tire is similar in construction to a tube-type tire, exceptthat a thin layer of air and moisture-resistant rubber is used on the inside of the tubeless tire from bead to bead to obtain an internal seal of the casing. This eliminates the need for a tube and flap. The two types of tires require different rim configurations: the tubeless tire uses a single-piece wheel; and the tube-type tire requires a multi-piece wheel assembly Figure 2.2. Both tires, in equivalent sizes, can carry the same load at the same inflation pressure. However, tubeless tires generally offer more benefits than tube-type tires in line-haul operations.Tubeless Tire Characteristicsvs. Tube-type:• less complicated mounting process
due to use of a single-piece wheel• decreased weight with lighter tire/
wheel assembly• less maintenance of parts and reduced
parts inventory• improved bead durability potential
from less brake drum heat resulting from higher wheel clearance
• improved crown and sidewall durability potential from cooler running tubeless casing
• better lateral stability from lower section height
• reduced downtime from punctures
Low Profile TiresLow aspect ratio tires are a category of radial tubeless tires which feature section widths wider than their section height. The ratio of tire section height to section width for these low aspect ratio tires generally fall between 80% to 70%. Low aspect ratio tires have shorter sidewall heights and wider tread widths than their “conventional” aspect ratio tire counterparts.
These differences lead to the following tire characteristics:• improved treadwear (less irregular
wear) on steer and trail axles• lighter weight and less federal excise
tax• better trailer cube potential due to
smaller tire diameter on new equipment
• improved stability and handling from higher lateral spring rate
• greater susceptibility to sidewall curb damage
As fleet experience with low profile tires increases, other considerations (such as vehicle geometry, alignment maintenance, and brake wear) may need to be addressed depending on theapplications and service requirements of the operation.
Drivetrain/gearing must be taken into account when converting to low profile tires, either at the original equipment orreplacement level. These involve engine RPM, transmission, drive axle gear ratio, and tire RPM. The objective is to obtain the most fuel efficient engine RPM/ ground speed relationship consistent with service condition requirements.The effect on road speed at the same engine RPM using a 55 mph base depends upon which conventional
aspect ratio and low profile tires are involved.
Generally, if the percent change in the tire RPM is 3% or less, a gearing changeis not required Table 1.
Wide-Base(Super Single) TiresA wide-base tire is simply a larger tire with a lower profile by nature. Currently, the primary application in North America is on vehicles whose front axle loads exceed the capacity of standard tires. Construction vehicles such as cement mixers and refuse haulers are prime examples. In addition to increased load capacity, these larger tires provide improved flotation versus conventional size tires.
The common wide-base sizes include:385/65R22.5, 425/65R22.5, 445/65R22.5, 435/50R22.5, and 445/50R22.5.
The pros and cons of wide base singles versus duals in many performance categories are dependent on specific vehicle configuration and operations. Some key considerations and potential benefits are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Technical Info For more information (603) 6188 8388 [email protected]
Potential advantages for wide base singles include: increased payload weight and volume due to lower tire/ wheel weight/volume, ease of maintenance (no mismatched tires, etc.), reduced inventory, improved fuel economy, and sometimes more uniform wear in freerolling trailer applications. Possible legal restrictions of nonsteer axle application of wide base singles should be thoroughly investigated before finalizing size selection.
Original equipment fitment of wide base singles offers the potential for lowering the center-of-gravity and thus improving the stability of vehicles such as tankers. In retrofit applications, care must be taken to properly select wheel/rim offsets to maintain a tracking width for acceptable stability. A common way to take full advantage of the wide base single concept is to use a 77.5 inch wide axle in place of the standard 71.5 inch.
Inherent advantages of duals versus wide base singles include standardization of tires/wheels, reduced road service due to tire problems through “limp” capability to get to
repair facility, and improved vehicle stability/control during tire air loss.
Matching Tires ForSpeed And Axle WeightsAs mentioned earlier, there are drive train/gearing considerations which must be made at the original equipment or replacement level when utilizing low profile tires. These involve engine RPM, transmission, drive axle gear ratio and tire RPM. The objective is to obtain the most fuel efficient engine RPM/ground speed relationship consistent with service condition requirements.
The effect on road speed at the same engine RPM, using a 55 mph base, depends upon which conventional sizes and which low profile diameters are involved. Generally, if the percent change in the tire RPM is 3 percent or less, a gearing change is not required.
In a tire selection process, it is mandatory that consideration be given to selecting a tire size and load range which at least equals the maximum load requirements by axle position (steer, drive, or trailer). All highway truck tires
have load limits established for tires used in normal highway service. Therefore, when selecting a tire for service, both the carrying capacity and speed implications must be considered.
For example, when selecting tires for a tractor-trailer combination with a gross combination weight (GCW) of 80,000 lbs. and an axle weight distribution of 12,000 lbs. on the steer, 34,000 lbs. on the tandem drive, and 34,000 lbs. on the tandem trailer axles, common conventional tire sizes used are 295/75R22.5 (275/80R22.5), 285/75R24.5 (275/80R24.5), 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 Load Range G. The load and inflation tables (from the Engineering Data Book for Over-the- Road Truck Tires or www.goodyear.com/truck) for these sizes are shown in Table 2.

The roll sensor was extensively tested todetermine the exact timing of deployment.
RS305 ROLLOVER SENSOR
PURPOSE:Designed to meet AS2809, “Purpose built road tank vehicles designed to carry dangerous goods in bulk shall be fitted with a rollover device which automatically shuts down the engine and all power sources in the case of a rollover, by activating the battery isolation switch. The device shall not be activated at less than 45° to the vertical.”
In the event of a tanker tilting more than 45° from the horizontal, power from the truck battery to all electrical equipment is cut to remove possible source of product ignition that may cause fire or explosion.
The sensor is also used to operate a Liquip engine strangler to ensure the truck motor stops.
ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICE:Sensor testing is recommended when standard maintenance is carried out on the tanker (typically every six months).
A hinging base is provided to provide simple testing of the sensor. Remove one of the humpback pins and tilt the sensor body until it reaches the stop. At this point all electrical circuits will have no voltage and truck engine will stop.
A unique “self diagnosis” tool indicates rollover sensor functionality. A steady bright green LED indicates the rollover sensor is horizontal and functional. A steady bright red LED indicates the rollover sensor is tilted past its activation angle.
TECHNICAL DATA:• Operating voltage range: 9V to 30V DC.• Operating temperature range: -20degC to +80degC.• Complies to Australian Standard AS2809 -1999.• IP67 rated.• Reverse polarity protected.• Immune to power surges and outages.• If the sensor loses power, it won’t actuate the
emergency mains switch
The Roll-Over Sensor minimises the risk of electrically ignited fires occurring in tanker accidents involving roll-over. In the event of a tanker tilting more than 45º from the horizontal, power from the truck battery to all electrical equipment is cut to remove possible source of product ignition that may cause fire or explosion.
The sensor is also used to operate a Liquip engine strangler to ensure the truck motor stops

HOPS will not deploy during a frontal or side-impact crash. A roll sensor calculates both the angle of the vehicle and the speed at which it’s rolling to determine when to fire the airbag restraints.
