Ford F-150 Air Bag Parts & Components

Production cars got their first airbags in the 1980s. Within the next twenty years, airbags on both driver and passenger sides became standard on all new cars sold in the U.S. This safety equipment has proven to be very important. As statistics shows, airbags can reduce the risk of death in a direct frontal impact by nearly 30%. Modern automobiles carry a variety of airbags. There are seat-mounted airbags and door-mounted side airbags. Today, vehicles may have six or even eight airbags altogether. An airbag itself is made of nylon fabric that is folded into the steering wheel or other place where it is designed to locate.

What an airbag actually does is slowing down a passenger's forward or side motion in case of a strong impact. This action is obtained basically thanks to three airbag components. Apart from a bag itself, these parts comprise the sensor that tells the bag when it should inflate and an inflation system that produces nitrogen gas to quickly inflate the bag.
