Introduction / notes 1
C Coonntteenntt NNootteess
These installation instructions for BPW air suspension axles are designed to illustrate technical
design recommendations.
We explicitly state that the drawings and instructions are solely to be understood as examples
for installation as cross bracing and component dimensions depend upon the respective vehicle
type and its field of application. This data is intended as a guide to be incorporated into the
manufacturer's vehicle design.
Page 10 - 13 contains a list of equations and calculation examples from BPW to assist deter-
mining the various stresses.
The safety factors when designing the vehicle framework and chassis are to be determined by
the vehicle manufacturer.
Detailed design data for BPW air suspensions such as dimensions, permitted centre of gravity
heights, etc. can be found in the appropriate technical documents (standard ranges or offer
drawing).
Important for all welding work!
The trailing arms, air bags and plastic pipes are to be protected against sparks and weld
splashes when carrying out all welding work. The earth terminal must not be attached to the
trailing arm or the hub. No welding on the trailing arms!
