Air Can


In the competitive world of high-performance cycling, every component matters. One such critical part is the shocks air can—a precision-engineered component that plays a pivotal role in suspension performance. At Yung Lun, we leverage state-of-the-art CNC precision machining to manufacture superior suspension air cans that power elite suspension systems for top-tier brands around the globe.

 

What Is a Shocks Air Can / Air Sleeve?

The bike shocks air can/sleeve is an integral component of modern air-sprung suspension systems. It serves as a container for compressed air, which acts as the spring in a shock absorber. This innovative design not only reduces the overall weight of the suspension but also offers adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune the damping characteristics to match their riding style and terrain.

 

Key Functions Include:

  • Air Storage: Provides a controllable spring effect for improved shock absorption.
  • Adjustability: Enables fine-tuning of ride firmness and rebound, enhancing rider comfort and control.
  • Durability: Withstands high pressures and repeated compressions, essential for both aggressive riding and long-term reliability.

Yung Lun CNC Advantage

At Yung Lun, precision is our top priority. We employ advanced multi-axis CNC machining technologies that allow us to produce air cans with outstanding accuracy and consistency. Our processes ensure that every air can meets the tight tolerances required for optimal performance in high-end suspension systems.

 

Advanced Manufacturing Techniques

  • Multi-Axis CNC Machining:
    Utilizing cutting-edge multi-axis CNC lathes and mills, we achieve precision machining with tolerances often within ±0.003mm. This guarantees the perfect fit and function required for superior air can performance.

  • High-Quality Material Selection:
    We predominantly use high-strength materials such as 7075-T6 aluminum. This choice of material offers an ideal balance between strength and weight, ensuring that the air cans are both durable and lightweight.

  • Surface Treatments:
    Our air cans undergo advanced surface finishing processes with outsourcing partners, including anodizing and the application of specialized coatings like DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) or Teflon. These treatments enhance wear resistance, reduce friction, and significantly extend the service life of the component.

  • Quality Control:
    Each air can is subjected to quality assurance inspection, ensuring that every unit can handle the demanding conditions of high-performance cycling without compromising on performance or safety.
