Comfort and handling go hand in hand with air suspension

Aug 23,2023


Air suspension is simply a collective term for the connection device between the body and the wheels, which is composed of shock absorbers, guide mechanisms and elastic elements, and air suspension is a suspension with air as an elastic element in a broad sense. The next thing to explain is the coexistence of comfort and handling of air suspension:

The suspension mechanism of the usual civilian vehicle will always be biased towards the handling or comfortable side. Vehicles that pay attention to control need a more "stiff" Shandong air suspension, which prompts the driver to feel the changes in vehicle attitude and road surface; Vehicles that value comfort require a "soft" suspension to reduce vehicle bumps and relieve intense body movements. This makes manipulation and comfort become a pair of contradictory goals, like "fish and bear's paw", which becomes difficult to have both.

Air suspension is a better configuration for both comfort and handling, and the key point is that the soft and hard energy of the spring can be automatically adjusted according to needs, the suspension will become hard when driving at high speed, soft when bumpy roads, reduce the roll of the body when cornering at high speed, and reduce the inertia forward tilt of the body during emergency braking.

The height of the body is automatically constant regardless of empty or full load, so that the spring travel of the suspension system is maintained under any load conditions, so that the damping characteristics are basically unaffected. Therefore, models equipped with air spring Shandong air suspension will have higher handling and comfort.
