Abstract: An identification device (1) for a pneumatic spring (2) includes an RFID transponder (8), which is completely embedded into the elastomer matrix (13) of the flexible member (4). An electromagnetic field is generated by a read device (9), wherein the energy necessary for supplying the RFID transponder (8) is taken from the electromagnetic field generated by the read device (9). When the read device (9) is active, information can be exchanged between the RFID transponder (8) and the read device (9). The RFID transponder (8) operates completely without an internal energy supply. The RFID transponder (8) may also be configured as a read/write transponder including a memory chip, wherein data may be stored on the memory chip in a safe and permanent manner. By retrieving data from the RFID transponder (8), an identification of the pneumatic spring (2) is possible even without any internal power supply of the RFID transponder.

Abstract: An air spring (2) essentially includes two end elements (4, 6) and an electrically conductive rolling-lobe flexible member which is pressure-tightly arranged therebetween and is made of a flexible elastomeric electroconductive material (14). A reinforcement (16) formed by two cord fiber plies (16a, 16b), which are made of fibers (18), are vulcanized into the flexible member. In order to determine the height (h) of the spring, preferably, the two cord fabric plies (16a, 16b) are provided with a number of highly conductive fibers (18a) which are arranged at the beginning and the end of each ply in a parallel direction to each other, thereby forming two conductive strips (24a, 24b). The conductive strips (24a, 24b) are disposed oppositely to each other and are electrically connected at the end of the rolling-lobe flexible member (8) in such a way that a conductive loop (24) is formed and each strip is used as an element in a branch for an alternating-current measuring bridge (28). The filaments (20) of individual fibers (18) or only certain filaments (20a) of the fibers (18) can be electrically conductive. In addition to determining the height (h) of the spring in a motor vehicle, the inventive device can also be used for determining the air pressure in the flexible member of the air spring (2), the temperature (T) of the flexible member walls and other measurement quantities.

Abstract: An ultrasonic pulse/echo measurement arrangement includes an ultrasonic transducer (12), which is mounted spatially fixed on an air spring cover plate (4). The arrangement further includes a fixedly mounted reference reflector (14), a target reflector (16) mounted on a roll-off piston (8) or on the bumper (18) as well as a transmitter/receiver evaluation electronic circuit (30). The running time as well as the amplitude of the reference signal is evaluated to precisely determine the pressure present in the interior space of the air spring. The ultrasonic transducer (12) has a λ/4-adaptation layer (22), whose impedance does not correspond to the geometric mean of the impedances of the ultrasonic transducer (12) and the ambient air of the interior space (20) of the air spring, but rather, is a mismatch. The evaluation electronic circuit (30) can be calibrated at ambient pressure for the determination of the inner pressure of the air spring. Preferably, the pressure measuring method according to the invention is also used to determine the running-time dependent spring height in an air spring (2) of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic spring (2) essentially comprising two terminal elements (4, 6), a pressure-tight roll bellows which is arranged therebetween and made of a flexible elastomeric electroconductive material (14), a strengthening carrier (16) formed by two cord-fibre plies (16a, 16b) which are made of threads (18), crossed at an angle (γ) and vulcanised inside said bellows. In order to determine the height (h) of the spring, in a preferred embodiment, said two cord-carcass plies (16a, 16b) are provided with a certain number of highly conductive threads (18a) which are arranged at the beginning and the end of each ply in a parallel direction to each other, thereby forming two conductive strips (24a, 24b). Said conductive strips (24a, 24b) are disposed oppositely to each other and electrically connected at the end of the roll bellows (8) in such a way that a conductive loop (24) is formed and each strip is used as a branch for an alternating current measuring bridge (28). In such manner, only the filaments (20) of each thread (18) or certain filaments (20a) of the threads (18) can be electrically conductive. In addition to determining the height (h) of the spring in a motor vehicle, the inventive device can be also used for determining air pressure in the bellows of the pneumatic spring (2), the temperature (T) of the bellow walls and other measurable quantities.

Abstract: An air spring system for a motor vehicle includes essentially a flexible member (4) having first and second ends. At a first end, the flexible member is closed off by the cover plate (8) as a connecting part and, at its second end, by a roll-off piston (10) as a second connecting part. To carry out a contactless distance measurement in accordance with the pulse/echo method in the interior space (6) of the air spring (2), an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver (14) is mounted on one of the two connecting parts (8, 10) and a reflector (16) is provided on the other one of the two connecting parts (8, 10). A separate reference reflector (18) is not used in order to simplify the construction and to save mounting space for the components. Instead, the reflector is configured as a two-step reflector. The one step functions as a target reflector (16) and the other step (26) functions as a reference reflector. A bumper (28) is preferably configured as a two-step target reflector (16). The step, which is configured in the bumper (28) is realized as a blind bore (20).
