Air Suspension
Air Suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses air
springs instead of conventional steel springs. Computer-operated
vents on the air springs, suspension sensors, and an onboard air
compressor allow the system to main tain ride height and vary the
suspension's ride characteristics.
Air Spring
An air spring is a rubber and fabric bladder that holds air
pressure to support a load and isolate passengers and cargo from
the shock of motion caused by road irregularities. As the air
pressure increases, the air spring can support more load while the
spring rate increases. The larger the air spring, the greater the
maximum load it can support.
Air Shock
An air shock is a type of overlade shock absorber that can be
inflated with air to increase the suspension’s load carrying
ability
Air Spring Shock Absorber Advantage
1. Air springs increase spring rate and vastly improve vehicle
stability, that means a safer and more comfortable ride.
2. Soaks up bumps, reduces the frequency of vibration while driving
on the road, prevents the damage of the other parts from the heavy
loading vehicles.
3. The cushioning principle is adopted, the shock absorption
performance is obviously improved, and the passenger comfort is
improved.
Air suspensions Spring systems are a feature
Air suspensions Spring systems are a feature found on many luxury
vehicles and SUVs. An air bag suspension system serves the same
purpose as a standard suspension system, however, instead of using
metal springs and liquid filled shocks, it uses a system of
inflatable air bags filled with compressed air to suspend the
vehicle off the ground .
FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Air spring suspension absorbs vibration from the road, assuring a
more
comfortable ride for people and payloads
• Air springs are a key component in leveling systems, allowing the
truck and
trailer level to be adjusted for easier loading and unloading
• Superior air spring suspension performance can help improve fuel
efficiency and reduce wear on road surfaces
• Environmentally friendly manufacturing produces less rubber waste
than
many competitors
• Rolling lobe air springs with clamping beads are supplied with
pistons,
plates and the internal bumpers, where necessary assembled as a
complete
unit
• Designed for longer stroke with minimal change in diameter for
maximum
comfort
• High stroke enables loading/unloading and allows easier
installation
• Backed by a limited 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects
Advantage
1.Reduce Poor Braking and Steering
Front tires account for the majority of braking and steering. Air
springs ensure that weight is properly distributed to all four
tires for optimal braking and steering.
2.Eliminate Poor Headlight Aim
Your headlights should be on the road and not in the trees. Only
level and stable vehicles provide safe and proper headlight
aiming—critical for safe night driving.
3.Reduce Trailer Sway
There is nothing worse than feeling your whole vehicle or trailer
sway with one strong burst of wind. When towing a trailer, air
springs permit precise tow-vehicle-to-trailer-height adjustment for
exact alignment, virtually eliminating trailer sway no matter the
weather.
4.Eliminate Rough Ride
Progressive rate air springs significantly improving ride quality
by better absorbing road inputs, while keeping your tires on the
road for better handling.
5.Reduce Body Roll
The increased spring rate from air springs vastly improves vehicle
stability especially in cross winds and emergency maneuvers. Less
body roll can increase driver confidence of high center of gravity
vehicles in less than ideal conditions.
6.Eliminate Bottoming Out
Worried about bottoming out on road bumps and driveways? Air
springs restore normal ride height when heavily loaded or towing,
reducing suspension wear and eliminating crashing on bumps.
