Air Springs and Bellows for Agricultural Uses
Air springs and air bellows are widely used in agricultural applications to provide flexible support and reduce vibrations in machinery. They help improve the efficiency and longevity of equipment like tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems. By absorbing shocks and maintaining smooth operation, they enhance the overall performance of agricultural machinery.
Air Springs for Agricultural Equipment
Our air springs are also widely used in the agricultural mechanization sector. As specialized air spring suppliers, we can customize various types of rubber bellows to meet different application needs:
Air Springs in Agricultural Truck Suspension Systems
Air springs are used in truck suspension systems to provide a smooth and consistent driving experience. Their excellent vibration isolation ensures comfort for vehicle occupants, effectively damping road noise, bumps, and vibrations.
These rubber air springs are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of farming environments, including dirt, dust, and prolonged exposure to moisture.
With their reliability, compact design, durability, and no need for maintenance, they offer the perfect solution for tractor isolation systems.
Pneumatic air springs for feed mixer trucks
In agriculture, the feed mixer wagon or food mixer wagon is used to provide feed for animals on the farm. Our pneumatic air springs are also used in this field. The air bellows are installed as part of the wagon, with the main function of absorbing vibrations caused by the weight of this part of the wagon.
As a result, the metal parts of the machine are protected, and up to 99% of the vibrations can be absorbed due to the performance of the rubber pneumatic air springs.
The convoluted rubber isolator has the advantage of being more compact compared to diaphragm isolators. The required installation height is smaller, without compromising isolation performance, and it offers a wide range of end closure options.
The following diagram illustrates the installation method of pneumatic air springs in a feed mixer wagon.
Air Actuator for Soil Fumigation Machinery
In addition to its use in feed mixer wagons, the air actuator has another valuable application in the farming sector. As mentioned in other applications, it can function as a pneumatic cylinder. In this case, it is used in machines designed for soil fumigation in agriculture. These machines rely on air actuators to control various functions such as the deployment of fumigation equipment, regulating airflow, and maintaining precise pressure levels. The air actuator’s ability to provide smooth and reliable movement makes it an essential component for efficient and effective soil fumigation operations, ensuring proper coverage and minimizing the risk of equipment failure.
Soil fumigation trucks or machines need to remain stable and balanced during operation. Since field surfaces are often uneven and soil density can vary greatly within the same area, air springs provide an ideal solution. They effectively address these ground irregularities, ensuring smooth operation of the machinery. Given the size and weight of the fumigation equipment, safety devices are also necessary during operation to prevent damage to the vehicle and protect operators or nearby animals from harm.
To better understand the role of rubber air actuators, the following images illustrate how ORIA air bellows are applied in agricultural fumigation equipment, showing how they meet the industry’s need for stability and safety.

We are a company that provides air spring solutions, specializing in various applications within the agricultural industry, as mentioned in the real-life cases of air springs we have worked on. However, we must consider that there could be many different types of machines or feed mixer wagons where our air bellows might be installed in different positions. Additionally, the dimensions of the air springs may vary depending on the type of machine, weight, volume, environment, and other factors.
