What are the advantages of air suspension shock absorbers?
Air suspension is not new technologies in recent years, and their basic technical solutions are similar, mainly including two parts of air springs and damping-changing shock absorbers with compressed air.
It is a lot of advantages with traditional steel suspension. The most important point is that the spring elasticity is also bomb.
The hardness of the spring is automatically adjusted as needed. For example, the suspension can be hardened at high speed to increase the stability of the body, when driving at a long time, the control unit will consider the bump road to hang the soft shock comfort.
In addition, the acceleration generated by the wheel from the ground impact is also one of the parameters considered when the air spring is automatically adjusted. For example, when the high speed is bent, the air spring and shock absorber of the outer wheel will be automatically hardened to reduce the side of the body, and the electronic module will also strengthen the spring and shock absorber hardness of the front wheel during emergency braking. To reduce the inertia of the body. Therefore, a model with air springs has higher control limits and comfort than other cars.
For example, the airmatic.dc air suspension system equipped on maybach is a clear change in spring soft changes. Spring flexibility
The coefficient is adjusted by the flow of the air in the rubber levave. When the short-wave road or high speed is bent, the portion of the gas chamber is locked, and the air flow rate is reduced when the leaf cavity is pressed, so that the spring is hard to reduce the body undulation and improve the body stability. On ordinary roads, all air can flow freely, when the lumen is pressurized, the air flow is increased, thereby providing a soft spring and a maximum degree of travel comfort. The air in the air suspension of Maybach always maintains the pressure of 6-10 bar. Air suspension also integrates traditional chassis lifting techniques into it. When driving at high speed, the body height is automatically reduced, thereby increasing the design performance to ensure good high-speed driving stability while reducing wind resistance and fuel consumption. Slowly through the bump road, the chassis is automatically elevated to improve through performance. In addition, the air suspension system can also automatically keep the body level height, regardless of the no-load full load, the body height can constantly constantly, so in any load, the spring stroke of the suspension system is kept, so that the shock absorber characteristics will not be substantially affected. Therefore, even if it is full load, the body is also easy to control. This is indeed a leap in platform technology.

The air supply
The air supply system consists of the engine air compressor, the air tanks, air valves and air lines. The engine air compressor supplies air for all the air equipment on the vehicle. The pressure delivered by the compressor varies. For several years, the air supply was maintained around 120 to 125 psi but on some new vehicles this has been improved to 135 psi. Dash gauges are present that will supply system pressure information but all vehicles have what we say to as a “pop off valve”. You can get the valve “pop off” when the system reaches the maximum air pressure.
