Description of Air Shock Absorbers

The core components of an air suspension and their functions are as follows:

① Air spring (elastic element): cushions, reduces vibration, and supports load;

② Shock absorber (damping element): works with the air spring to dampen vibration and enhance ride smoothness on rough roads;

③ Air supply unit (including air compressor, distribution valve, and suspension): dynamically adjusts the air spring's extension and contraction by charging and deflating air;

④ ECU: controls the air supply unit and shock absorber in real time to adjust the air spring's stiffness and shock absorber's damping force.

⑤ Sensors (height sensor, body acceleration sensor, etc.): Constantly transmit vehicle status to the ECU;

⑥ Air tank: Serves as an air compressor to provide timely response to ECU signals;

⑦ Other (air lines, etc.)

Main Functions and Advantages

At highway speeds, the air pressure inside the air springs decreases, lowering the vehicle's body and thus reducing the vehicle's drag coefficient, saving fuel. An inherent advantage of air suspension is that it creates a natural barrier between passengers and potholes, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. Most car owners consider this the greatest advantage of driving a vehicle with air suspension.
