Advantages of air suspension:
- Good shock absorption effect. Compared with traditional leaf springs, airbags are obviously softer and more comfortable. They form a soft connection between the frame and the axle, which can greatly alleviate bumps and impacts from the road. In addition to enhancing driving Comfort is also a kind of protection for goods.
- Reduce load stress. The compressibility of air allows the airbag suspension to easily cope with road bumps, while also reducing load stress, extending the service life of axles and semi-trailers, and reducing vehicle costs to a certain extent.
- Its own weight is smaller. Lightweighting is a current development trend in the trailer accessories industry. Compared with traditional suspension, air suspension is lighter in weight. Users with standard loads can get more free weight space, while users without loads can save fuel and energy. Increase efficiency.
- Long service life. The air spring itself is relatively light, and the friction of the air medium in the air bag is also relatively small. The service life can be 2-3 times that of the leaf spring, helping car owners to better save costs.
Air suspension has many advantages, but objectively there are also some disadvantages:
- Compared with other suspensions, the structure of air suspension is more complex, because to use air springs, a rod system must be installed that can transmit various forces and moments other than vertical force, which also leads to a certain extent. Its price is relatively high.
- Corresponding to the high price is the maintenance cost. In addition, compared with traditional leaf springs, airbags are more easily damaged in terms of material, and the maintenance cost cannot be underestimated.
- Once the air suspension fails, you cannot continue driving and can only call for towing service. Unlike traditional suspensions, even if there is an oil leak, you can still go to the maintenance center.
- The air suspension has good cushioning, but under full load conditions, nodding or tailing will occur when braking or starting, which requires skilled driving skills.
Although the advantages and disadvantages of air suspension coexist, after comprehensive consideration, the advantages are more obvious, otherwise air suspension will not become an officially designated must-have suspension. In addition, “lightweighting” is now prevalent in the commercial vehicle industry. Shippers are becoming more and more concerned about cargo damage, and competition among peers is becoming increasingly fierce. This industry background has also promoted the use of air suspension to a certain extent.
It is recommended that car owners try to choose reliable brands when purchasing air suspension, which can also reduce the cost of subsequent maintenance and replacement to a certain extent. The air suspension produced by Darong Machinery is composed of air springs, shock absorbers, height control valves, guide arms, follow-up steering mechanisms, etc. It uses 3D molding technology to have stronger load-bearing capacity. Special seals can fully ensure that the suspension is working properly. temperature, extending the service life, the parts assembly design is more flexible, the installation time is shorter, and maintenance can be performed according to the actual situation, reducing maintenance costs.
