BPW Hanger brackets 7

General

Greater flexibility for vehicle manufacturers -
the bolted Airlight II air suspension hanger
bracket from BPW O

With the new, innovative bolted Airlight II air suspension
hanger bracket, BPW is offering the opportunity of SL
prefabricating compact vehicle frames without air
suspension hanger brackets, coating them but not
attaching the axle and suspension unit until the final AL
assembly stage.
By expanding the Airlight II range, BPW is offering
vehicle manufacturers an attractive alternative to the
conventional, fully welded chassis. This is because the

bolted system offers clear logistical and cost advantages,
in particular for off-site frame production and surface
coating. Production is made more fl exible.
The air suspension hanger brackets were be available
from week 36/2007 onwards. Like all other Airlight II air
suspension hanger brackets and channel cross members,
they are designed for use with M 24 trailing arm spring
bolts from the start of series production (see also BPW
News Luft 7122702e).

Customer advantages:
Installation of the entire chassis (incl. bracket struts)
by cold-joining technology
Signifi cant cost and logistical advantages with
off-site frame production and surface coating

(it is easier to transport the vehicle frame without
hanger brackets)
Expansion of production fl exibility
For mounting on standard frames with bottom
fl ange width as little as 120 mm
No changes to the frame required, except for the
hole pattern
Suitable for aluminium frame
Improved repair capability
