What Is an Air Suspension System?

An air suspension system is a style of vehicle suspension that's powered by an electric pump or compressor that pumps air into flexible bellows that are typically made out of a textile-reinforced type of rubber. Additionally, Pro Car Mechanics describes air suspension as a replacement to the leaf suspension or coil spring system with airbags composed of polyurethane and rubber. A compressor inflates the bags to a certain pressure in order to behave like springs. Air suspension also differs from hydropneumatic suspension because it uses pressurized air instead of pressurized liquid.

The Advantages of Air Spring
The two front tires bear the majority of braking and steering. Air spring ensures that weight is properly distributed to all four tires for optimal braking and steering. Progressive rate air springs significantly improve ride quality by better absorbing road inputs, while keeping your tires on the road for better handling.
The productive principle of Air spring
Honggu Air Springs are highly durable, precisely engineered and cost-effective for use in a wide variety of actuation and vibration isolation applications. With time-tested designs incorporating fabric-reinforced natural rubber flex-member construction and corrosion-protected end retainers, Air Springs provide superior quality and performance. As actuators, Honggu Air Springs can provide either linear or angular motion.

Air spring

in technology, elastic machine component able to deflect under load in a prescribed manner and to recover its initial shape when unloaded. The combination of force and displacement in a deflected spring is energy, which may be stored when moving loads are being arrested or when the spring is wound up for use as a power source.

Air spring Connect

1. Air fitting: A tapped hole allowing for the spring to be fed from the air compressor
2. Nut/bolt/mount: The method for attaching the air spring to the component. Some air springs incorporate a bolt and air fitting combination device.
3..Bead plate: Crimped metal plate enclosing the spring and allowing attachment. This is typically forged steel, cast zinc alloy or cast aluminum.
4. Bellows: The physical, multi-layer material withholding the compressed gas. Usually made of neoprene or rubber.
5. Girdle: Only found in air springs of convoluted design, separating the bellows chambers.

6. Bumper: An optional layer of padding protecting the piston from damage if the air spring fails.

7. Piston: The component attached to the machinery requiring suspension, which is in turn supported by the enclosed air. The piston housing is typically attached with further hardware.

Air Compressor

An air compressor is a pneumatic device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e., compressed air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure. When the tank's pressure reaches its engineered upper limit, the air compressor shuts off. The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use.

Air compressors work

Air compressors work by forcing air into a container and pressurizing it. Then, the air is forced through an opening in the tank, where pressure builds up. Think of it like an open balloon: the compressed air can be used as energy as it’s released.

They’re powered by an engine that turns electrical energy into kinetic energy. It’s similar to how a combustion engine works, using a crankshaft, piston, valve, head and a connecting rod.

From there, the pressurized air can be used to power a variety of tools.
