Technical tip: Bellows pressure sticker for auxiliary air suspension systems - what is the correct bellows pressure?

semi air suspension - full air suspension

What is the correct bellows pressure per vehicle? Driving with a bellows pressure that is too low or too high is not a good idea, as this is comparable to driving with a tyre pressure which is too low or too high. To date, only the minimum and maximum bellows pressure is stated in the documentation supplied with the kit.

Our auxiliary air suspension systems are available for many different brands and types, and practice shows that the bellows pressure can vary. This is one of the reasons for modifying the VB-SemiAir documentation and specifying the minimum and maximum bellows pressure per vehicle.

All our auxiliary air suspension systems are divided into four groups, with each group having its own bellows pressure limit. Like tyre pressure, the bellows pressure limit is prescribed for three different loading states: empty, semi-loaded and fully loaded. This specific information is stated on the new bellows pressure stickers. Either you or a VB partner should affix these stickers to the B-pillar and near the inflation valves during installation. Bellows pressure information is also stated on the kit information card.

Return of the international aftersales meeting this year!

In addition to our annual international sales meeting, we are delighted to report that, as of 2023, the international aftersales meeting has become another fixture in the calendar!

We have updated our brochures!

We're already through October and the end of the year is in sight. Before you know it, we'll be settling in for those chilly evenings again: lighting the stove, putting our feet up and getting the tablet out while relaxing on the sofa.

We were keen to celebrate a special moment with Martin!

Today, 20 October, was officially our colleague Martin Uffink's last day of work and marked the start of his retirement. He chose not to work up to the very last minute: with some hours saved up and annual leave owed, his last day at VB-Airsuspension was actually back in August –on Thursday 22nd, to be precise.
