AIR SPRING ASSEMBLY APPARATUS AND METHOD ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A chuck member (72) holds the end fitting (74) of the air spring and inserts the fitting (74) in the open end (16) of a tubular sleeve (14) of the spring. A housing (84) is provided for axial movement toward and away from the chuck (72). An annular segmental clamping member (96) is located in an opening (95) in the housing (84) and the segments (98) are moved radially inward for positioning and crimping a ring member (160) of the spring in response to controlled axial movement of the housing (84). Axial movement of the segments (96) for positioning the ring member (160) and inserting the end fitting (74) may be provided by piston and cylinder assemblies (52,130). A crimping chamber (92) in the housing (84) is utilized to move the housing (84) and actuate cam means (110) engageable with the segments (98) to provide the desired radial force which is applied by the segments (98) during positioning and crimping of the ring member (160).
