Introduction If we look at the different suspension systems used in motor vehicles
today, the most apparent difference between them is that they are either
mechanical or air suspension systems.
Both types are, of course, incapable of meeting all technical
requirements. If they are, however, directly compared, it soon becomes
apparent that air suspension offers major benefits compared with
mechanical suspension systems.
As a result air suspension systems are used to an increasing extent in
commercial vehicles.
Benefits of Air Suspension Systems 1. By changing the bellows pressure, depending on the load carried on
the vehicle, the distance between the road surface and the vehicle’s
superstructure addresses the same level. This means that the
boarding or loading height, and the headlight settings, remain
constant.
2. Spring comfort remains almost unchanged across the whole of the
loading range; again this is achieved by changing the bellows
pressure. The passenger on a motor coach will always perceive the
same pleasant type of oscillations. Sensitive loads can thus be
carried without being severely damaged. The well-known “jumping”
of an unladen or partially laden trailer no longer occurs if an air
suspension system is used.
3. The stability of the steering system and the transfer of the braking
forces are improved since all wheels always have good adhesion to
the road surface.
4. The pressure in the air bellows, depending on the load the vehicle
carries, is ideal for use in controlling automatic load-sensitive
braking.
5. In the area of control for interchangeable platforms, air suspension
systems are an excellent basis for cost-effective loading and
unloading of containers.
6. The kneeling effect often required for routine buses can easily be
achieved by venting the nearside air bellows.
