What is the function of an air suspension system?

[DiAlexis]

The functions of an air suspension system are as follows: 1. Advantages of air suspension compared to traditional ordinary suspension: Air suspension resolves the contradiction in traditional ordinary suspension where stability and comfort cannot be achieved simultaneously. By utilizing air springs that can adjust their stiffness and length, the air suspension system can achieve different suspension performances in the same vehicle, thereby balancing comfort, sportiness, stability, and off-road capability. The Fengjinba air suspension system can automatically adjust the vehicle height based on speed, effectively improving ride comfort, reducing vibration and noise, and enhancing handling. 2. Improvement in driving performance with air suspension: Installing an air suspension system provides excellent driving performance for the driver, significantly improving passenger comfort and also protecting the road. It can reduce road wear by 50% and improve road roughness by 15%.

As a regular city driver, I particularly appreciate the comfort provided by air suspension. This system replaces metal springs with airbags, automatically adjusting ride height and stiffness based on road conditions. When encountering speed bumps or potholes on congested urban roads, the vibrations are significantly reduced – no more bone-shaking jolts like with stiff springs. On highways, the suspension automatically lowers the vehicle to reduce wind resistance and improve cornering stability. During road trips with heavy loads, it self-levels to prevent rear sagging, ensuring everyone rides in comfort. However, this system comes at a premium cost and requires regular maintenance of air pumps and hoses to prevent leaks or blockages. Overall, I find it exceptionally practical for daily commuting, especially for long journeys where the smooth ride quality justifies the additional expense.

From a practical perspective, the air suspension system primarily improves vehicle ride quality and handling. It adjusts suspension stiffness by compressing air—for example, increasing pressure to absorb shocks on rough roads for enhanced comfort or reducing pressure on smooth roads to maintain stability. Additionally, it offers adjustable ride height, automatically adapting to terrain by raising to clear obstacles or lowering to save fuel. I’ve also observed its ability to maintain level balance under uneven loading, preventing tilting and boosting safety. The downsides include higher maintenance complexity, as the air pump may fail and require specialized repairs, along with elevated costs. Overall, it’s widely adopted in SUVs or commercial vehicles, proving especially practical for those frequently carrying heavy loads.

During long-distance road trips, I benefited greatly from the air suspension's automatic height adjustment feature. It lowers the vehicle at high speeds to reduce wind noise and raises it on rural roads to prevent scraping. When loaded with large boxes or family luggage, the system automatically balances the body to prevent tilting, and minimizes vibrations on bumpy roads so my feet don't get sore easily. It even provides better traction in rain or snow. This peace of mind makes every journey more relaxing.
