Why are more and more cars starting to install air suspensions

A high-quality SUV should not only have the comfort of the car, but also take into account the passing performance of the off-road vehicle. The air suspension system is the best choice to achieve this goal. According to the different road conditions and the signal of the distance sensor, the driving computer will judge the height change of the body, and then control the air compressor and exhaust valve to make the bullet. The spring is automatically compressed or extended to reduce or increase the ground clearance of the chassis to increase the stability of the high-speed body or the passability of complex road conditions.

The most obvious difference between the air suspension and the traditional suspension is that the air spring replaces the steel coil spring. The interior of the air spring is full of air, which is compressible, and the effect of isolating vibration is better than that of steel coil springs. When encountering uneven road impact, many weak vibrations are not easily transmitted to the car through air springs. However, there are also disadvantages, because the air spring is made of rubber, which is prone to aging and wear and has low durability.

How the air spring shock absorber works: Use the air compressor to form compressed air and send the compressed air to the air room of the shock absorber to change the height of the vehicle. Height sensors are installed near the front and rear wheels of the car. According to the sensor, the change of body height can be judged, and then the compressor and exhaust valve can be controlled to compress or elongate the spring to achieve shock absorption effect.

The function of using an air spring shock absorber is that the body can be adjusted. When a car is driving at high speed, more than 60% of the power is consumed against wind resistance. At that time, the speed exceeded 200km/h, and the energy consumption against wind resistance accounted for more than 85%. The air suspension system can automatically reduce the body height in order to reduce wind resistance and improve battery life.

I don't know if you have noticed that the chassis will rise when your car passes through an uneven road. Without an air suspension, it is easy to collide when the road surface is poor.
