Air suspension struts are advanced suspension components that replace traditional shock absorbers. Instead of using hydraulic fluid, they utilize compressed air to provide damping and support for the vehicle's body. Air suspension struts consist of an air spring, a shock absorber, and a control valve. The air spring provides variable stiffness, allowing the vehicle's ride height to be adjusted. The shock absorber controls the rebound and compression of the suspension, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.
The primary function of air suspension struts is to provide a more comfortable and customizable ride than traditional suspension systems. By adjusting the air pressure within the struts, the vehicle's ride height and stiffness can be dynamically controlled to suit different road conditions and driving styles. This results in a smoother ride, improved handling, and enhanced load-leveling capabilities.
