Rolling Lobe Series – Type S

Compact Sleeve-Type Air Springs for Smooth, Low-Frequency Isolation

📌 Product Overview

The Rolling Lobe Series (Type S) from Flexotech is a sleeve-type air spring that uses a rolling motion of the rubber lobe to allow large stroke lengths with minimal internal friction. Fitted with plastic or composite end connections, these air springs are compact, lightweight, and ideal for both passive and active vibration isolation.

With natural frequencies between 0.5 to 3.5 Hz, they are an excellent solution for both lightweight inspection machines and heavier precision equipment where space-saving and low-frequency vibration isolation are essential.
