Specifications and Detailed Technical Parameters

Features of Truck Air Springs
1. Height adjustability

• Active adjustment: Change the height of the airbag by inflating and deflating, adapt to different loads (empty/heavy), keep the frame level, and improve stability.
• Application scenarios: Automatically lower the body when loading and unloading, and raise it when driving at high speed to improve passability.

2. Excellent shock absorption performance

• Non-linear elasticity: The stiffness of the air spring changes dynamically with the load, which is softer than the leaf spring, greatly reducing the transmission of road vibration and protecting the cargo and chassis components.
• Improved comfort: Reduced driver fatigue, especially suitable for long-distance transportation.

3. Flexible load capacity

• Load adaptation: The air pressure is proportional to the load, and the single-axle load can reach more than 10 tons (such as heavy trucks), and it is evenly distributed to avoid local overload.
• Comparative advantages: Compared with leaf springs, air springs are softer when lightly loaded and have stronger support when heavily loaded.

4. Durability and reliability

• Material technology: airbags are mostly made of high-strength rubber + cord layer (such as nylon or polyester), which is tear-resistant, ozone/oil-resistant, and usually has a service life of 5-8 years or more than 500,000 kilometers.
• Extreme working conditions: -40℃~+70℃ stable operation, but air tightness needs to be checked regularly.

5. Integrated electronic control system (high-end configuration)

• Intelligent control: ECU monitors the body posture in real time and automatically adjusts the pressure of each airbag (such as anti-rolling during cornering and anti-nodding during braking).
• Function expansion: ESP and ABS can be linked to improve safety.

6. Maintenance and economy

• High cost: The initial investment is 2-3 times that of leaf springs, but in the long run, it can reduce maintenance costs (reduce chassis parts loss).
• Maintenance points: It is necessary to regularly check airbag cracks, pipeline leaks, and replace desiccant (to prevent valve body freezing damage).

7. Environmental protection and regulatory adaptation

• Lightweight: 30%~50% lighter than steel springs, helping to reduce emissions (especially electric trucks).
• Regulatory requirements: Europe and the United States have strict standards for the comfort/safety of heavy-duty vehicle suspensions, and air springs are becoming the mainstream.
