DESCRIPTION

An air suspension system is a style of vehicle suspension that's powered by an electric pump or compressor that pumps air into flexible bellows that are typically made out of a textile-reinforced type of rubber. Additionally, describes air suspension as a replacement to the leaf suspension or coil spring system with airbags composed of polyurethane and rubber. A compressor inflates the bags to a certain pressure in order to behave like springs. Air suspension also differs from hydropneumatic suspension because it uses pressurized air instead of pressurized liquid.

Some air suspended vehicles have adjustable air suspension that can allow the owner to change the actual ride height of their vehicle. This is especially useful when parking on an uneven surface or needing extra clearance to clear an obstacle while off-road.

As the vehicle is moving the shock absorbers have sensors built into them that send a signal to the compressor which in turn inflates or deflates the bellow, this all happens in the space of milliseconds.

Air suspension is quite a modern concept when it comes to making motor vehicles ride in a more comfortable manner and was originally developed for use on bicycles back in 1901.
