Sampa Showroom
At Sampa we aim to go beyond being just a "choice" in the aftermarket; we dream with the science behind spare parts, create the most beautiful art pieces with our own unique language, capture the highest quality and, most importantly, consistently push our collective capabilities. For us, it is all about the journey of discovery, where every step we take is based on being better, stronger and the most compatible. And we have many more advantages that you can discover… Why not start from our most valued products.

Vulcanized Perfection
More than 50 years of experience with rubber compounds and metallurgy, combined with the significant scientific achievements of our world-class R&D center CAMP, allowed us to develop materials, processes and technologies that set the Sampa Air Spring apart from the competition.
It is a big advantage for a company to have in-house R&D capabilities and to develop its own rubber compound. Being able to carry out tests related to rubber and performing dynamic tests for the finished air springs that is produced with this compound is one of Sampa’s strengths in Air Spring production.
Sampa has its own formulas for both lining and coating, and these formulas constantly evolve. These differences are visible in the enhanced dynamic performance of the finished product. Compared to the OEMs that we see as competitors in the market, we have formulas and air springs with similar or even better results.

Utilizing MTS To Refine Air Spring Performence
Proving field testing is very expensive,
time-consuming and doesn’t allow for
“in-service” inspection. To save time
and offset delays in development,
we supplement field testing with
cost-effective mechanical testing in
our high-tech MTS test lab, capable
of providing greater testing speed,
control and repeatability.
MTS ensures precise alignment with
original parts, so Sampa can bring
safer, more durable and fuel-efficient
products to market faster and at a
lower cost.
We run a short burst of high-performing
cycles to measure and fine tune
damping characteristics and run
millions of cycles for durability testing.
The systems reach extremely high
velocities and forces for performance
testing, and operate at very low
velocities and forces for accurately
measuring the impact of seal friction
and gas charge.
