Air Suspension
When it comes to air-ride suspension, they come in several styles
for both OE replacement and aftermarket upgrades. Some systems use
an integrated air spring and shock absorber that replaces your
customer’s metal springs with pressure-adjustable air springs
(i.e., airbag). Using correctly sized air springs and properly
calibrated shock absorbers offers ride characteristics similar to
coilovers.
An air-suspension system consists of many different components.
Components include an air compressor, air springs, pneumatic
solenoid valves, height sensors, electronic control unit, air
reservoir, air lines, pressure sensor and temperature sensor. The
system may be designed for the rear air suspension only or for the
entire vehicle.
While air-suspension systems are mostly used on high-end European
cars, manufacturers have adapted them to many other vehicles such
as SUVs and pickups to improve ride comfort and functionality. OEMs
also discovered that air ride could improve fuel economy by
lowering the car at highway speeds to reduce the drag coefficient.

Air compressor
A device that compresses and pressurizes air. Used to inflate air
springs.
An Air Suspension Compressor also called Air Compressor or Air
Pump, inflates or deflates air spring bags as necessary. When a
vehicle with air suspension drops below the factory-defined height,
the air suspension compressor, also simply called an air compressor
or air pump is activated and inflates the air bags or air struts.
Air compressor System
An air compressor is a machine that uses an electric motor or gas
engine to power a device that sucks in successive volumes of air
from the atmosphere, compresses (squeezes) each volume of air in a
confined place to increase its pressure by making the volume
smaller, and then transfers the high-pressure air to a receiver
tank, The high-pressure air is drawn off from the receiver tank to
power equipment.
Air compressors have many uses
including: supplying high-pressure clean air to fill gas cylinders,
supplying moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface
supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air for driving
some office and school building pneumatic HVAC control system
valves, supplying a large amount of moderate-pressure air to power
pneumatic tools, such as jackhammers, filling high pressure air
tanks (HPA), for filling tires, and to produce large volumes of
moderate-pressure air for large-scale industrial processes (such as
oxidation for petroleum coking or cement plant bag house purge
systems).
Air compressors are also widely used in oil and gas, mining and
drilling applications as the flushing medium, aerating muds in
underbalanced drilling and in air pigging of pipelines.
Most air compressors either are reciprocating piston type, rotary
vane or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are common in very
large applications, while rotary screw, scroll,and reciprocating
air compressors are favored for small and medium sized
applications.
The Benefits of Air Suspension Systems
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.
