What is the Principle of Air Suspension?
1 Answers
Here is how air suspension works: 1. It utilizes an air compressor to generate compressed air, which is then used to adjust the vehicle's ground clearance; 2. Vehicles equipped with air springs generally have ground clearance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these sensors, the onboard computer detects changes in vehicle height and controls the air compressor and exhaust valves accordingly, causing the springs to automatically compress or extend to achieve a damping effect; 3. Air suspension also enhances the vehicle's adaptability. At high speeds, it can automatically stiffen to improve stability, while during prolonged low-speed driving on uneven roads, the onboard computer softens the suspension to enhance comfort; 4. Air suspension is not a recent technological development. The fundamental design is similar across systems, primarily consisting of an air spring filled with compressed air and a shock absorber with variable damping.
