What is air suspension?
Air suspension is a general term for the connection device between the body and the wheel, which consists of shock absorbers, guide mechanisms and elastic elements. In a broad sense, air suspension is a suspension that uses air springs as elastic elements.

The difference between air suspension and ordinary suspension
The elastic element of the ordinary suspension is a spring, which plays the role of elastic connection between the body and the tire, bears and transmits the vertical load, alleviates and suppresses the impact caused by the uneven road surface, etc. The shock absorber is used to accelerate the attenuation of vibration, Limit body and wheel vibrations.

In the air suspension, the air spring is used instead of the ordinary spring as the elastic element. It is precisely because of the compressibility and expandability of the gas that the air spring can not only play an elastic connection between the body and the wheel, bear and transmit vertical loads, In addition to alleviating and suppressing the impact caused by uneven road surfaces, it can also actively adjust the height of the body, which lays the groundwork for the electronically controlled suspension system we will mention below.

The structure of the air suspension

The air suspension system is generally composed of air springs, shock absorbers, guide structures, air supply units (such as air compressors, single valves, air paths, air storage tanks, etc.), height control valves, etc.
