DESCRIPTION
Instead of steel or leaf springs, an air suspension systems typically consists of air spring, also known as plastic/air bags, tough rubber, and an air line system, connected to an on-board air compressor, valves, solenoids, and under electronic controls. The onboard compressor is an electric pump, used to feed air to the air bags via multiple lines. Valves play a important role in air direction control, allowing air to enter different parts of the system. In electronic systems, when the system adjusts for different driving conditions, solenoids inflate and vent the airbags by opening and closing to change the amount of air entering each airbag. An electronic control module controls the on/off switches, monitors pressure and manages ride height. Air springs are flexible and have certain amount of elasticity. The more they are compressed, the increased stiffness will be produced.
A suspension system whereby air is used as the working fluid and also the shock absorber, is known as an air suspension system. Such systems are talked about during our class on damping concepts as well as hydraulic systems.
The back and front suspension systems, or simply the suspension units on both sides of the car are linked with each other within an interlocked suspension system. They’re also termed collectively referred to as a linked system. This system had, compared to independent rear and front suspension units and managed to lower a vehicle’s bouncing tendency, as well as pitching or rolling and provided comfortable and smooth drive. There are three categories of Interconnected suspension systems; A hydro-gas suspension system, a hydrolastic suspension and an air suspension system.
These systems assist in decreasing the load while the car is moving, that is, the dynamic loading as the spring’s variation rate between loaded and unloaded weight is substantially less. This offers a comfortable and smooth ride in the car.
