Pneumatic fittings for active air suspension

摘要

A fitting for an active air suspension includes a housing (64) with a central bore and a rigid tube (66) having a first tube end (76) inserted into the central bore with a second tube end (78) extending outwardly of the housing. The first tube end includes a plastically deformed portion (86) that prevents the rigid tube (66) from being removed from the housing (64). A retention collar (68) is used to secure a hose end (70) to the second tube end.
In the final fitting, the rigid tube (66) can rotate within the housing (64) but it is not axially removable from the housing (64).
