Estimation of the possibility of using anaerobic impregnating compositions to increase frost resistance of rubber suspension elements of road vehicles

Abstract

Abstract The conditions of operation of non-metallic elements of air suspension of road vehicles are analyzed. The influence of negative temperatures on non-metallic (rubber) elements of an air spring has been studied. An assessment of the possibility of using impregnating compositions for servicing the rubber elements of the air suspension of road vehicles in various temperature conditions has been carried out. It is shown that the use of impregnating compositions when servicing rubber elements of an air suspension allows minimizing cracking of the material and, consequently, increasing the durability of the suspension.
