Basic Information of Shock Absorbers

The auto air shock absorber takes air as the working medium, and uses the compressibility and elasticity of air to absorb and consume the impact energy to achieve the role of shock absorption and buffering. It contains a sealed air chamber, usually filled with a high-pressure gas, usually nitrogen. When the vehicle is driving on the uneven road surface, the up and down movement of the wheel will be transmitted to the gas chamber through the piston rod of the shock absorber, and the high-pressure gas in the gas chamber is forced to compress or expand under the movement of the piston, thereby absorbing and buffering the impact force from the road surface.

Air Shock

An air shock is a type of overlade shock absorber that can be inflated with air to increase the suspension’s load carrying ability.


Advantages of Air Suspension Shock Absorber

1. Ideal axle height

The car can be kept on its ideal axle height independent of its variable load. Driving safety is improved due to better road handling, for example, at night keeping the same headlight position.

2. Improve driving dynamics, road handling and comfort

Driving dynamics, road handling and comfort are improved. The suspension is soft and comfortable during slow driving and becomes noticeably stiffer during faster driving. The suspension responds to dynamic load as it reacts to live load.

3. Better sound isolation and lower resonance frequency

Better sound isolation of airbag and lower resonance frequency, which leads to a smoother and more comfortable ride.

4. Absorber energy

Higher ability to absorb energy which means better and safer handling in extreme driving conditions.
